ABSTRACT
This document is the second volume of a two-volume
set of lesson plans that together make up a complete training package
for full-service terminal operators. The lesson plans are designed to
(NCIC)
ensure that a state's National Crime Information Center
training program meets Advisory Policy Board standards. (NCIC is a
nationwide computerized information system serving local, state, and
federal criminal justice agencies.) This volume reviews policies of
the 12 "Hot" Files maintained by the NCIC and provides instructions
for completing transactions into the files. Separate lesson plans
focus on these "Hot" Files: license plate; article; securities;
vehicle; boat; gun; wanted person; foreign fugitive; United States
secret service protective; bureau of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms
violent felon; missing person; and unidentified person. An
introductory page to each lesson plan lists title, time allotted,
target group, and method of instruction. The lesson plan consists of
and test answers,
a statement of goal and objectives, criterion test
lists of required materials, and the instructional content itself.
Certain materials are provided: information sheets, bibliography,
overhead transparency masters, and handouts. The instructional part
is an
of each lesson plan is divided into 12 parts. Part 1
introduction to the importance of the file. Part 2 defines the file
in
for NCIC purposes. The various NCIC transactions are discussed
of
parts 3-10 (called "the message sections") each of which consists
the following: a purpose section that explains the reason for each
transaction; a requirements section that states the specific data
needed to perform each transaction; an interpreting responses section
that reviews all possible responses the operator may receive or
generate to other agencies as a result of the transaction
transmitted; and a guidelines section that reviews policy issues.
Part 11 provides the amount of time the record remains in NCIC. Part
12 highlights the file and reviews critical points. (YLB)
