Which agency administers the FCIC?

• A. Florida Department of Public Safety
• B. Florida Department of Law Enforcement
• C. Florida Department of Corrections
• D. Florida Highway Patrol

Answer: (B)

FCIC stands for Florida Crime Information Center, Florida’s centralized system for criminal history and related information used by law enforcement. This system is operated by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, which manages the state’s criminal justice information systems and coordinates with national networks for background checks and record sharing. Because FDLE is the agency responsible for administering FCIC, it’s the correct choice. The other agencies handle different duties—corrections deals with confinement and rehabilitation, highway patrol is a division under another department and does not run FCIC, and the public-safety designation does not administer FCIC.
