Hit Confirmations R or U

[Guest guest]

Even tho states might be connected to NCIC and NLETS, they don't always

implement all the features.

Massachusetts at this time doesn't support the RNQ/DNQ (Name Query via

NLETS), only the older RQ/DQ's.

In addition, the use of newer fields in NCIC wanted persons such as S/F

(Stolen/False ID') were never implemented.

sometimes it's getting the right programmer the right cup of coffee, on the

right morning.
