Limited Access Online Certification

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) has created the online Limited Access Certification training for users whose job function only requires queries into the Florida Crime Information Center (FCIC) and the National Crime Information Center (NCIC). The purpose of Limited Access is to provide users an essential understanding of the information and files contained within FCIC/NCIC, and describe key policies and procedures related to criminal justice systems. In addition, the Limited Access training includes the required CJIS Security and Privacy: General User Training and will be followed by a cumulative test covering both modules.

So, who is a Limited Access User? A Limited Access user is defined as an operator at any Florida law enforcement/criminal justice agency who only performs queries within the FCIC/NCIC systems. A Limited Access user could be an officer using a mobile data terminal to confirm the identity of a subject during a traffic stop; a correctional or booking officer submitting booking data and fingerprints on a live scan machine; a clerk or judge in the courtroom running a criminal history check on a subject at first appearance; or an operator using a Rapid ID device to identify a subject in jail or prison. All of these individuals may perform queries into FCIC/NCIC.
