Which users typically access ACJIS?

The users who typically access the Arizona Criminal Justice Information System (ACJIS) are primarily law enforcement agencies, courts, and other criminal justice entities. This system is designed to serve the needs of organizations that are directly involved in maintaining public safety, enforcing laws, and administering justice.

Law enforcement officers utilize ACJIS for accessing criminal records, up-to-date information on offenders, and other critical data that assists in their investigations and daily operations. Courts rely on the system for records related to cases and individuals involved in the legal process. Additionally, various criminal justice agencies use ACJIS to share information and coordinate efforts across different jurisdictions.

This specific user base is crucial because ACJIS contains sensitive and confidential information that is integral to the legal system, which is why it is not generally accessible to the public, journalists, insurance companies, or private investigators without proper authorization or justification.
