Criminal Record SearchInfo about LIENWhat is LEIN? Law Enforcement Information Network, a computerized criminal justice database that includes a person's criminal history, including arrests, convictions and driving record -- even in other states. It is maintained by the Michigan State Police and tied into the FBI's National Crime Information Center. Who can access it? Law enforcement officials, including police officers, sheriff's deputies, prosecutors and judges. It is to be used for official criminal justice purposes only. Officers are forbidden from using it for personal use. The LIEN system holds information beyond criminal convictions, such as police contact that did not result in a criminal conviction, and therefore is NOT part of public record. Who investigates a violation? Normally, a local police agency, unless there is a conflict of interest. Source: CJIS Policy Council |
