When does 28 CFR Part 23 apply to law enforcement practices?
The regulation applies to criminal intelligence systems whose purpose it is to exchange or disseminate criminal intelligence information. The regulation is applicable only to systems that are interjurisdictional or multiagency in nature. However, an agency should consider whether it shares criminal intelligence information by either informal practice or policy. If an agency expects or anticipates sharing criminal intelligence information with other agencies or jurisdictions, having a policy that incorporates the principles of 28 CFR Part 23 will benefit its operation.
