It is preferred that all new cases submitted to the lab be pre-entered into UCJIS.
Crime Lab Entry ("CLE")
This portion is for entering new cases. Not all Law Enforcement Officers will have access. If access is needed, notify your agency's TAC, and access will be given by BCI.
Crime Lab Inquiry ("CLI")
The majority of Law Enforcement should have access to the “CLI” portion. Crime Lab reports are available through this portal upon their completion.
