CJIS Portal
The CJIS Portal is the hub of the criminal justice information sharing initiative. Authorized criminal justice individuals are able to search information using a secure internet connection. Current information includes Criminal History records, Protection Orders, Parole and Probation information, DNA, Offender Registration, Concealed Weapons, CWIS, Motor Vehicle, Drivers License information, Watercraft Licenses, and various law enforcement incident records. In addition to the search functionality, the system includes notification capabilities that facilitates the tracking of an individual or event at the preference of the criminal justice individuals. This is the foundation that future criminal justice records and functionality will be built upon.
If you are interested in accessing the CJIS Portal authorization is required. The CJIS Portal is available to law enforcement agencies only. A standard fingerprint based law enforcement background check (FBI, ND, CWIS & NCIC) is performed prior to the applicant being granted access to the CJIS Portal.
