What is Criminal Intelligence Systems Operating Policies (Federal Regulation 28 CFR Part 23)?
Criminal Intelligence Systems Operating Policies (Federal Regulation 28 CFR Part 23) is a guideline for law enforcement
agencies. It contains implementing
standards for operating federally grant-funded multijurisdictional criminal intelligence systems. It specifically provides
guidance in five primary areas: submission and entry of criminal intelligence information, security, inquiry,
dissemination, and review-and-purge process. Criminal Intelligence Systems Operating Policies (Federal Regulation 28
CFR Part 23) does not provide specific, detailed information on how the standards should be implemented by the operating
agency but, instead, provides the ability for each agency to develop its own policies and procedures.
