Sumner County 911 Emergency Communications
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.
