Nashville, Tennessee — Tennessee Department of Safety Commissioner Dave Mitchell has requested additional assistance from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) in regards to the investigation surrounding Lieutenant Ronnie Shirley’s alleged unauthorized access to the Integrated Criminal Justice Web Portal (ICJSC).
Commissioner Mitchell has asked the TBI to conduct forensic examinations on the state-issued computers and other electronics Lt. Shirley had access to. That equipment has been surrendered to the TBI.
The TBI is already in the process of conducting off-line searches to determine if Lt. Shirley made unauthorized criminal history checks using the National Crime Information Center (NCIC). The NCIC is a computerized database of documented criminal justice information used by law enforcement agencies across the country. It is maintained by the FBI and is a completely separate database than the ICJSC.
“The Department of Safety will continue to use external resources to conduct this investigation,” stated Commissioner Mitchell. “We take this matter very seriously and are working diligently to complete it.”
The Tennessee Department of Safety’s mission is (www.tennessee.gov/safety) to ensure the safety and general welfare of the public. The department encompasses the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Office of Homeland Security and Driver License Services. General areas of responsibility include law enforcement, safety education, motorist services and terrorism prevention.
