IT'S AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW AND IT'S FREE
Given today’s climate in law enforcement and increased scrutiny on hiring practices, every agency in the United States should be accessing the NDI for each and every pre-employment background investigation conducted to ensure we are only hiring the best candidates to represent this honorable profession.
Executive Order 13923 of June 16, 2020 – Safe Policing for Safe Communities Sec. 3. Information Sharing. (a) The Attorney General shall create a database to coordinate the sharing of information between and among Federal, State, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies concerning instances of excessive use of force related to law enforcement matters, accounting for applicable privacy and due process rights.
The purpose of the National Decertification Index (NDI) is to serve as a national registry of certificate or license revocation actions relating to officer misconduct. The records contained in the NDI are provided by participating state government agencies and should be verified with the contributing authority. Inclusion in the database does not necessarily preclude any individual from appointment as an officer.
“We are grateful for Guardian taking the initiative to help IADLEST raise the nation’s awareness of the NDI and more importantly, increase the utilization of this incredibly important and timely tool for background investigators.”
Mike Becar, Executive Director
