Edits
editI (hopefully) made an article lead which is accessible to a wide range of readers, and I also attempted to place the III in context so someone who is not familiar with criminal justice could better appreciate its significance. This included quite a few links to other articles in Wikipedia. Ometecuhtli2001 (talk) 20:27, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
The previous content became redundant after my edits so I moved the references to the "see also" section. Ometecuhtli2001 (talk) 20:27, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
Future plans
editThere is considerable documentation on the use of the III for non-criminal purposes, including the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact. A section on this topic should be added (I can't now due to lack of time). Ometecuhtli2001 (talk) 20:27, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
Merger proposal
edit- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- Clearly the same topic. Should have been merged right away without a discussion. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 13:56, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
I propose National Crime Information Center Interstate Identification Index be merged into this article. The topic is identical. --hulmem (talk) 19:03, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- This makes sense. A post-merger rewrite would then be in order. Ometecuhtli2001 (talk) 09:23, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
- I agree. NCIC and III are distinct systems with different purposes. They touch principally in that data communications between III and state systems flow through NCIC, and some queries into NCIC spawn related queries to III. Having maintained the programming for, and at times designed, the state level interface to both since 1984, I would recommend keeping NCIC and III as separate topics, and not mixing the titles.
