The Florida Crime Information Center (FCIC) and the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) collect and maintain criminal justice information for local, state, and federal agencies.

• A. False
• B. Not sure
• C. True
• D. Partially true

Answer: (C)

Interagency information sharing is the core purpose of FCIC and NCIC. These systems collect, maintain, and provide access to criminal justice information for authorized users across local, state, and federal levels. FCIC handles Florida’s data while NCIC serves as the national repository operated by the FBI, but both exist to support law enforcement nationwide—sharing records such as wanted persons, missing persons, stolen property, and other pertinent details. Because they are specifically designed to enable this cross-jurisdiction access for public safety, the statement is true.
