I. | Purpose |
II. | General Information |
A. | JABS is the livescan booking and demographics database application used by most federal law enforcement agencies to process their own arrestees. |
B. | Some of the federal contributing agencies are: the FBI, DEA, US Secret Service, US Marshals Office, and US Bureau of Prisons. This database was historically only open to federal law enforcement agencies; today it is open to selected local law enforcement agencies. |
C. | Sworn and select civilian Department members will use their own individual CPD CLEAR logon and password to access JABS. |
D. | Each JABS record will display federal charges and prior federal history, as well as photographs and fingerprint data; some records will also include supplemental information such as next of kin, telephone numbers, associates, vehicle ownership data, etc. |
E. | Conducting name inquiries in JABS, like any criminal background check, is intended for criminal justice purposes consistent with the guidelines delineated in the Department directive entitled "Criminal History Records." |
III. | Procedures to Access JABS |
A. | From the CPD CLEAR intranet site, members will select the JABS link. |
B. | From the JABS "Welcome" page, members must request access from the JABS federal administrators by selecting the "request applications" button and following the instructions on-line. |
NOTE: |
When applying on-line, members must use their Department e-mail address in order to be approved. Once the request is submitted it will normally take 2-5 business days before access is granted by the federal program administrators. The requesting members will receive notification for their authorization to use JABS via the CPD e-mail system when approval is granted.
