How often must one recertify on TIES/NCIC?

Recertification for TIES (Tennessee Information Enforcement System) and NCIC (National Crime Information Center) is required every two years. This frequent recertification ensures that law enforcement personnel stay current with important updates, policy changes, and technical advancements related to the systems. Maintaining proficiency in the use of TIES/NCIC is crucial for effective information sharing and criminal justice operations, as these databases are integral for accessing critical law enforcement information, aiding in investigations and ensuring public safety. The requirement for a two-year recertification timeline reflects the need for regular training and skill refreshment in these vital systems.
