What type of behavior is discouraged among NCIC operators?

Sharing access credentials is strongly discouraged among NCIC operators because it compromises the security and integrity of sensitive information. Each operator is assigned unique credentials to maintain accountability and ensure that only authorized users can access specific data. Sharing credentials can lead to unauthorized access, making it difficult to track who performed what actions within the system. This can result in significant legal and security ramifications, including data breaches and potential misuse of confidential information. Maintaining strict control over access credentials is essential for upholding the standards and protocols required for properly utilizing NCIC resources.
