Which statement is true concerning the use of the NCIC III file?

The statement about the strict regulation of the NCIC III file against non-criminal justice use is accurate. This regulation exists to ensure that sensitive information contained within the NCIC (National Crime Information Center) database is used appropriately and only for legitimate law enforcement purposes. The intent behind these regulations is to protect individuals' privacy rights and maintain the integrity of the database.

Access to the NCIC III file is limited to authorized personnel within the criminal justice community. This means that while various law enforcement officials may use the system, there are strict guidelines on who can access the information and the purposes for which it can be used. These measures ensure that the data supports criminal investigations, apprehension of fugitives, and other law enforcement activities, rather than being misused for non-related purposes.
