# NCIC overview

> Run person, vehicle, firearm, article, and boat queries from the mobile MDT.

Run person, vehicle, firearm, article, and boat queries from the mobile MDT.

<Note>Screenshot placeholder: NCIC Search screen with RESPONSES tab</Note>

## Open

Sidebar **NCIC Search**

If NCIC is not enabled for your agency or user, **NCIC Search** remains visible but dimmed. Tapping it shows:

`NCIC access is not enabled for either your agency or your user, contact your administrator`

While access is still loading, tapping may show a short “checking access” message instead.

Training mode enables NCIC practice queries without live CJIS access.

## Tabs

<Note>Screenshot placeholder: PERSON and VEHICLE query tabs</Note>

## Person query

**PERSON QUERY** fields:

* **LAST NAME**, **FIRST NAME**
* **DATE OF BIRTH**
* **OLN / DL NUMBER**

Validation: **Last Name or DL Number is required**

<Note>Screenshot placeholder: Person query form filled out</Note>

## Vehicle query

**VEHICLE QUERY** fields:

Validation: **License Plate is required** (or provide VIN)

## Firearm query

**FIREARM QUERY** fields:

* **SERIAL NUMBER** (required)

## Article / serial query

**ARTICLE / SERIAL QUERY** fields:

* **SERIAL NUMBER** (required)
* **SERIAL NUMBER TYPE** (optional)

## Boat query

**BOAT QUERY** fields:

* **REGISTRATION NUMBER** and/or **HULL ID (HIN)** — at least one required

In training mode, serials or boat identifiers containing `STOLEN` return sample stolen hits; otherwise you get a no-record style response.

## Responses

The **RESPONSES** tab keeps feedback for each submitted query. A second query does not replace a query that is still pending.

| Status                     | Meaning                                                                               |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Sent** or **Pending**    | The MDT submitted the query and is waiting for a response.                            |
| **Completed — Hit**        | One or more matching records were returned. Review the details before acting.         |
| **Completed — No hit**     | The response explicitly reports no matching record or no operator.                    |
| **Error** or **Timed out** | The query did not complete. Open it for available details and retry when appropriate. |

Tap a completed response to open its result:

* **Parsed** shows structured person, driver, vehicle, warrant, firearm, article, or boat information.
* **Raw** shows the authoritative CJIS response. It is displayed on screen only and is never included in a spoken summary.
* **Photo** appears when an authorized DOR photo is available. A missing or invalid photo does not hide the parsed or raw result.

DOR responses distinguish **Suspended**, **Revoked**, **No Operators**, **Valid**, and **Unknown**. Warrant and returned protection-order indicators appear separately from the overall hit/no-hit status.

<Info>
  The MDT can display a protection-order indicator returned in a response. It does not provide a separate Ex Parte or Order of Protection submission form.
</Info>

Actions on results (availability varies):

* **ISSUE CITATION**, **ISSUE WARNING**, **CREATE FIR**
* **REFRESH**, **LISTEN**, **PRINT PACKET**, **VIEW DETAILS**

<Note>Screenshot placeholder: NCIC response card with action buttons</Note>

## Voice summaries

Enable **CJIS result summaries** in Settings — see [Voice alerts](/mobile/voice-alerts). Spoken summaries may announce approved high-level information such as hit/no-hit, suspended or revoked status, or a warrant/protection indicator. They never read raw CJIS text, personal identifiers, addresses, or photo data aloud.

## In-call queries

Person/vehicle **QUERY** buttons also appear on call detail cards.

## Requirements

Agency **State/NCIC Access** and user authorization in Web Admin. Live results are cleared when your organization or session changes. Training responses remain separate from live CJIS responses. Criminal history queries are not available on mobile.

## Warnings

<Warning>CJIS policy applies on mobile same as desktop — official use only. Do not copy, share, or read raw CJIS results over an open or unencrypted channel.</Warning>
