The Crime Information Bureau is part of the Wisconsin Department
of Justice, Division of Law Enforcement Services. CIB provides
Wisconsin residents four unique services:
- CIB operates and manages the TIME
System. The TIME System is the law enforcement
message switch and network that provides criminal justice
employees with information on wants and warrants, driver license
and vehicle registration information, criminal histories,
protection order and injunction files, sex offender and
corrections information, stolen property, missing persons and
more. The TIME System connects over 7,600 criminal justice
computers in Wisconsin to over 250,000 criminal justice
computers across the nation and Canada.
- CIB operates Wisconsin's Handgun
Hotline. Established late in 1991, the Hotline conducts
mandatory background checks for Wisconsin's licensed gun
dealers on handgun purchasers.
- The Crime Information Bureau (CIB) operates the state's
Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) which is a
computer-based system for reading, cataloging, searching,
matching and storing fingerprints, palm prints and related
demographic data. Established in 1993, this system has become a
statewide-shared AFIS that provides access to eight remote
Wisconsin sites for fingerprint searches of a nearly 1 million
fingerprint record database and processes approximately 45,000
fingerprint transactions per month. This system interfaces with
the FBI's Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification
System (IAFIS), providing Wisconsin Law Enforcement agencies
access to nationwide and international criminal justice
information.
