NCIC Agency Identifiers (ORI)

An NCIC ORI is a nine-character identifier assigned by the FBI NCIC to an agency which has met the established qualifying criteria for an ORI assignment to identify the agency in NCIC and NLETS transactions. An ORI identifies an agency by state and location within a state, and may indicate type of agency (sheriff’s department, police department, court, district attorney, etc). An agency may be assigned an ORI regardless of whether the agency has a computer terminal connected to the TIME System.

When an administrative message is sent to a specific agency outside the State of Wisconsin via NLETS, the nine character ORI of the destination agency is required.  Authorized NCIC identifiers for Wisconsin agencies are listed in this manual.   NCIC identifiers for out-of-state agencies may be obtained using an ORION transaction.
