Access to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) system is restricted to authorized law enforcement agencies and personnel. To access NCIC, agencies must be certified by the FBI and must comply with stringent security and training requirements. Authorized users typically access NCIC through secure terminals and must follow strict protocols to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the information. Unauthorized access is illegal and subject to severe penalties.
NCIC doesn't do anything about stolen vehicles. It's simply a national database that flags stoeln property, missing and wanted persons. When a law enforcement officer runs an article, vehicle or person through NCIC, the result returned will be either that the item or person in question is clear of if there's a record. In the case of a vehicle, NCIC would return either a clear or stolen record. The law enforcement agent will then take the appropriate action. In order to return a hit (stolen), a vehicle first has to have been entered into NCIC as such by a aw enforcement official.
