ACJIC compliance for Alabama law enforcement agencies
Alabama agencies accessing CJI answer to the FBI's CJIS Security Policy v6.0 and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency's Criminal Justice Information Services Division, which pairs security compliance with a separate statutory reporting mandate. ComplianceLattice tracks the federal foundation both share.
A federal baseline, plus a statutory reporting duty
Under Alabama Code § 41-9-620, every criminal justice agency in the state is statutorily required to report crime data through Alabama's uniform crime reporting system - a mandate that exists separately from, and alongside, CJIS security compliance. ALEA's Compliance Unit oversees both, and a CJIS Systems Officer within ALEA serves as the state's direct liaison to the FBI's CJIS Division.
The security side of that work - access control, authentication, audit logging, incident response, and the rest of CJIS v6.0's 20 policy areas - is the same work every CJIS-connected agency in the country does. ComplianceLattice tracks that full federal baseline today, covering most of the ground before you get to Alabama's statutory reporting requirement.
Because crime reporting and CJIS security compliance are handled by the same ALEA unit but come from different legal requirements, it's worth treating them as two separate obligations to track - meeting one doesn't automatically satisfy the other. If your agency is working through ALEA's ACJIC framework requirements now, reach out - alpha tester feedback directly shapes what we build first.
