CJIS Compliance Unit
Welcome to the Michigan State Police (MSP), CJIS Compliance Unit website.
The CJIS Compliance Unit is responsible for conducting audits of agencies with access to FBI and Michigan CJIS systems and information; performing CJIS access background checks on MSP civilians and contractors to ensure proper vetting of personnel accessing CJIS systems and information; managing the CJIS Online web portal that provides CJIS Security & Privacy Training to non-MSP CJIS user agencies; and documenting and tracking CJIS misuse investigations and audit noncompliance.
The purpose of the audit is to assess the user agency’s compliance with system-related policies, the FBI CJIS Security Policy, and the Michigan Addendum and to identify areas for improvement. This in turn helps ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of CJIS systems and information. Audits are conducted every three years for all direct-access Criminal Justice Agencies and periodically for Noncriminal Justice Agencies (NCJAs). The unit’s overall mission is to educate, evaluate, report, and improve policy compliance.
Noncriminal Justice Agencies:
An NCJA is a governmental agency authorized by federal statute, executive order, or state statute and approved by the U.S. Attorney General to receive state and federal fingerprint based criminal history record information (CHRI), directly or indirectly from the MSP. Purposes to receive CHRI include but are not limited to, employment suitability, licensing determinations, immigration and naturalization matters, and national security clearances.
Beginning in 2010, the MSP established a compliance program for agencies requesting CHRI for noncriminal justice purposes. Every agency with noncriminal justice access to state and/or federal criminal history records is required to follow the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy. We offer training and serve as a resource for these agencies to help ensure compliance with federal and state regulations regarding criminal history records. We also conduct periodic compliance reviews for NCJAs based on the authority of Title 28 CFR 907.3; Title 5 USC 552 a(e)(10); CJIS Security Policy and Security and Management Control Outsourcing Standard.
