Fast, thorough background checks keep officers, public safe

Whether your state controls access to firearms tightly or allows adults to carry concealed weapons without obtaining a license, law enforcement officials and retailers need to perform background checks quickly and accurately.

Interfaces allow the system to search the following:

• FBI and state criminal databases
• State judicial protection order registries
• Federal firearm-authorization registry
• Mental health adjudication repositories
• Databases of lost and stolen firearms
• Departments of public health (to check death certificates)

By enabling fast and comprehensive background checks, firearms licensing software keeps officers safe in the field. From the safety of a patrol car, they can obtain criminal- and weapons-related information simply by entering a license plate number or address into the system.

Interfaces, also give retailers timely access to the information they need to make – or prevent – firearm sales.
