The Massachusetts Department of Criminal Justice Information Services (DCJIS) will work with vendors interested in becoming approved hardware and/or software vendors for authorized law enforcement and criminal justice agencies. Approved vendors offer CJIS, National Crime Information Center (NCIC), and International Justice and Public Safety Network (Nlets), access to authorized criminal justice agencies through in-station systems and/or through mobile data terminals and portable handheld devices.
Criminal justice agencies and their selected vendors must get approval from the DCJIS before accessing any information on, or connecting any hardware or software to, the CJIS network.
