How often must Full Operator certification be renewed?

Full Operator certification must be renewed every two years to ensure that operators remain knowledgeable about the evolving technology and policies related to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and the Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (LETS). This renewal process typically involves completing any required training or retraining to keep skills current and ensure compliance with best practices and regulatory standards. The biennial requirement helps maintain a high level of operational competency among users of these systems, which is critical for effective law enforcement and public safety. Regular training and certification updates also ensure that operators are aware of any changes in laws, policies, software, or operational procedures that may impact their work.
