Can FBI CJIS data be shared with close friends?

FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) data is strictly controlled and has regulations governing who can access it and under what circumstances. This data is intended for law enforcement and criminal justice agencies to aid in the performance of their official duties. Sharing this type of sensitive information with individuals outside of authorized personnel or entities, such as close friends, is not permitted under federal law.

The restrictions are in place to protect the integrity of the data, ensure privacy, and prevent misuse of potentially sensitive information. Access is limited to those who have been properly trained and have a legitimate need to know regarding their official responsibilities. Ensuring that CJIS data remains confidential is vital in maintaining the trust of the public and the security of law enforcement operations.
