Since when has NCIC operated under a shared management arrangement?

The NCIC, or National Crime Information Center, has operated under a shared management arrangement since January 1967. This arrangement was established to facilitate a collaborative approach to managing and accessing criminal justice information across various law enforcement agencies. By implementing this shared management model, the NCIC has been able to enhance coordination and communication among agencies, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of crime information sharing. This development was crucial during a time when crime rates were rising and the need for immediate access to criminal records and data was more pressing than ever. Therefore, the year 1967 marks a significant milestone in the history of NCIC and its operational strategy, ensuring that law enforcement agencies could work together seamlessly in addressing crime.
