True or False: Only federal law enforcement can create entries in NCIC.

The statement is false because entries in the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) can be created not only by federal law enforcement agencies but also by state and local law enforcement agencies. The NCIC is a centralized database that provides criminal justice agencies with access to information needed for law enforcement purposes.

This multi-level access allows various agencies, including local police departments, sheriffs’ offices, and state police, to contribute information such as stolen property records, wanted persons, and missing persons reports. This collaborative approach ensures a more comprehensive and accurate database, reflecting a wider array of law enforcement activities across different jurisdictions.
