What kind of vehicles does the NCIC vehicle file record?

The NCIC vehicle file specifically records stolen vehicles and those that are connected to criminal activity. This focus is essential for law enforcement agencies as it allows for the tracking and recovery of vehicles that are suspected to be involved in crimes or have been reported stolen.

This targeted approach helps to streamline the process of locating vehicles that pose a risk to public safety or are part of ongoing investigations. By maintaining a database of such vehicles, law enforcement can efficiently access information crucial for addressing criminal incidents involving these vehicles. Therefore, the emphasis on stolen vehicles and those linked to criminal activity encapsulates the primary purpose of the NCIC vehicle file.
