MCOLES State Licensing Practice Exam

Which of the following is NOT part of a proper LEIN inquiry?

1. First name

2. Last name

3. Race

4. Address

The correct answer is: Address

A proper LEIN (Law Enforcement Information Network) inquiry requires key identifying information to effectively search for an individual in the system. This typically includes the first name, last name, and race of the individual being queried. Using first name, last name, and race allows law enforcement personnel to narrow down their search results and accurately identify a person based on unique characteristics. The address, while it may be useful information for other purposes, is not necessary for a standard LEIN inquiry. Instead, the focus remains on more critical identifying factors that directly correlate to existing data entries in the system. This helps streamline the process and avoid potential confusion or inaccuracies that could arise from varying address data.
