NLETS/NCIC stands for which systems?

• A. National Logistics Exchange and Tracking System / National Central Intelligence Center
• B. National Law Enforcement Training System / National Crime Information Center
• C. National Law Enforcement Terminal Service / National Crime Information Center
• D. National Law Enforcement Terminal System / National Crime Information Center

Answer: (D)

This item tests your understanding of two national law enforcement information systems used for data sharing. NLETS is the nationwide communications network that links federal, state, and local agencies, allowing real-time data exchange across jurisdictions. NCIC is the National Crime Information Center, the FBI’s centralized database that stores criminal justice information such as wanted persons, missing persons, stolen property, and other records that officers can check to verify status or leads in the field. The option pairing National Law Enforcement Terminal System with National Crime Information Center matches this concept: it points to the data-sharing network (for transmitting information) alongside the central repository used to access and verify records. While the precise official name for NLETS is National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System, the idea remains the same—the first part is the nationwide transmission system and the second part is the centralized information center.
