On May 21, 2008, the Takoma Park Police Department participated in an audit conducted by the Maryland State Police National Crime Information Center (NCIC) audit staff. The audit process is conducted approximately every two years and is used to assess the performance of each governmental agency as it relates to how the agency utilizes its Maryland Inter-Agency Law Enforcement System (MILES) NCIC privileges.
The audit staff also takes a look at compliance of the local terminal agency by examining any issues that may be in specific MILES/NCIC files and by comparing the data entered with our case records. The audit staff selected a sampling of records randomly for review. Those records included wanted persons, missing persons, vehicle files, and gun files.
General compliance, data quality, and risk analysis are key areas that are reviewed by the audit team.
Our agency was rated positively and scored in the “low risk” category. The auditors found that our agency is in compliance with federal and state MILES/NCIC guidelines.
