What must all certified operators use for access to FBI CJIS data?

For access to FBI CJIS (Criminal Justice Information Services) data, all certified operators must utilize a user ID and password. This requirement is critical for maintaining the security and integrity of sensitive law enforcement information. The user ID acts as a unique identifier for the operator, while the password serves as a secure method of authenticating their access to the system.

This two-factor authentication approach helps ensure that only individuals who have been properly trained and authorized can access the secure data, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and breaches. The CJIS Security Policy mandates strict protocols surrounding user access to safeguard critical information against potential threats.
