Is there any way for an ordinary taxpayer to access the NCIC system? I would like to verify the serial numbers on my stolen property have really been entered.

NO.
You have to be LE and use of the system is for official business only.
 
AND, as an officer, you have to be trained and certified to access NCIC. Not just any officer can get on a computer and access it.

tyeo098 Instead of just saying NO, how about offer alternatives?

Take Florida, if a gun has been reported stolen, it sill show up in their civvie accessible database here:
http://pas.fdle.state.fl.us/pas/item/displayGunSearch.a

Im sure (hoping) that other stated have this as well.

What alternatives?:scrutiny:

1. OP asked about access to NCIC.
2. Florida's system is valid only for Florida, not national.
3. Florida is one of only two or three states that have this type of database.
 
Well tyeo098, ZonEl asked a specific yes or no question, he got specific yes and no answers:) He didn't ask about rice in China or tea in India:D
 
I had a similar situation many years ago, and when I inquired at the PD about any status on my stolen property, they said no. I then asked if the serial numbers had been entered into NCIC, and the clerk said she could not check on that, but since she had the officer's report in front of her, she would re-enter them just to be sure. I never checked back, and they never recovered the guns. :(

The clerk helped you :D.... She probably had no reason to do that again, although it would have been more than a good enough excuse....

I had a situation many years ago at the former day job where I called the PD to ask about a vehicle in our lot. Seemed like it was abandoned, and a very new one at that. The gal told me that she'd have to ask the Captain for permission. I was able to convince her that all I wanted to know was whether or not it was stolen, and for her to log it (and the time) should it be reported. "OH...." Wasn't stolen.... I don't know how she explained that, but I'm sure nobody asked. (This stuff is logged, but rarely checked.)

(Turned out, btw, that it belonged to one of our long-haul truckers. He'd just bought it, and had to leave it in the lot while on a run. Unfortunately, we only had a few "executive" parking spaces, and he'd picked mine :D.... Which is why I asked.... Plenty of "not-quite-as-good" spots nearby for me, and he didn't want it dinged up. Non-issue in that part of the lot, but a very good choice. Which is why I picked it :D.... I did tell him, but only for fun - we took care of our truckers.)

Regards,
 
IIRC NCIC access by a terminal or work station is logged. That''s why most folks will not access the system unless for official business. Huge violation unless work related.
 
most good investigators print the NCIC type, or have it printed by dispatch, and enter it into the case file....go pay for a copy of the report at the records division. If it's not in there ask to speak to a sgt...he may have the number run right then and there.
 
I'm in Ohio and the SN was for a Century Model 100 .45-70 revolver SN 912.

Wouldn't checking to make sure a victim's stolen property has been properly entered into the system be work related? It's not like he's asking to go play solitaire on their computer.
 
Probably would but it would still have to be done via the chain of command I'd guess. I'm not LE. I don't think anyone can arbitrarily do some thing involving NCIC for a citizen without paperwork.

The access could be seriously abused if not monitored. I asked a LE pal to look up my driving record for something and he said no can do.

But this is conjecture since I'm not LE. Maybe one of them here can let us know.
 
When an item is entered into NCIC the system issues a number commonly called a "Nic Number" that should be entered next to the item in the report. That is your proof. Use of NCIC is restricted and generally an incident # has to be entered on all queries.
