Which item is NOT listed as part of the FBI NLETS/NCIC System Security measures?

• A. Automatic computer edits that reject common erroneous data
• B. Automatic purges of records after prescribed time period
• C. Quality control checks by FBI personnel
• D. Encryption of records in transit using military-grade protocols

Answer: (D)

The focus here is on how NCIC/NLETS maintains data quality and control over the records it handles. Automatic computer edits are used to validate data as it enters the system, rejecting common errors so flawed information doesn’t pollute the database. Automatic purges enforce the data retention policy, removing records after a prescribed time to keep the system current and reduce unnecessary clutter. Quality control checks by FBI personnel provide an additional layer of oversight, ensuring records meet standards and catching issues that automated checks might miss.

Encryption of records in transit is a security practice, but it isn’t described among the security measures listed in this context. Among the given items, encryption in transit isn’t part of the described measures, so it’s the one that does not fit.
