KCJIS: Another function of SCEC is the operation and management of
the Kansas Criminal Justice Information System (KCJIS). KCJIS is a
computerized network which incorporates several databases of
information into one system and enables a nationwide communication
system between law enforcement agencies. Through this system,
Public Safety Dispatchers check the status of license plates and
drivers license files through the Division of Motor Vehicles, Wants
and Warrants through the National Crime Information Center, and
criminal history background information through the Interstate
Identification Index. The system also allows teletype messages to be
sent to any law enforcement agency across the nation. The KCJIS
computer network also carries weather watches and warnings issued
by the National Weather Service which are monitored by Public Safety
Dispatchers. These watches and warnings are relayed to
responders so they can prepare for the impact.
