Overview[]
Criminal intelligence plays a vital role in the safety and security of the country. The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 28, Part 23 — Criminal Intelligence Systems Operating Policies (or 28 C.F.R. Part 23) was issued in 1980 to ensure the privacy and constitutional rights of individuals during the collection and exchange of criminal intelligence information, and it has since been an important part of the intelligence landscape. 28 CFR Part 23 is a guideline for law enforcement agencies that operate federally funded multijurisdictional criminal intelligence systems. To facilitate greater understanding of 28 C.F.R. Part 23, the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice, developed the Criminal Intelligence Systems Operating Policies (28 C.F.R. Part 23) online training, which focuses on the requirements of 28 C.F.R. Part 23 and includes topics such as compliance, privacy, inquiry, and dissemination requirements; storage requirements; and review-and-purge requirements.
