Department of Justice – Criminal Justice Information Services Advisory Policy Board Meeting Minutes

The Department of Justice’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Advisory Policy Board (APB) plays a crucial role in the oversight and guidance of the CJIS Division. The CJIS APB is responsible for advising the FBI Director on policy issues and changes that affect the operation of CJIS programs. These programs include databases and systems like the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS), and the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program.

Comprised of representatives from various segments of the criminal justice community, including law enforcement, the judiciary, forensic laboratories, and criminal justice professional organizations, the board ensures a broad representation of viewpoints. Members are appointed to the APB to provide diverse perspectives and expertise in matters related to the development and implementation of CJIS services and capabilities.

The APB meets regularly to review and recommend policy, technical, administrative, and operational standards. It also ensures compliance with existing policies and evaluates proposals for new initiatives. By doing so, the APB plays a pivotal role in ensuring that CJIS services remain effective, efficient, and secure, while also balancing the needs of law enforcement with privacy and civil liberty concerns.
