End-to-end CJIS compliance for public safety vendors
Selling software to law enforcement means clearing every employee, for every agency, in every state. Peak streamlines and simplifies the entire CJIS clearance process — so compliance stops slowing down your deals.
The clearance process was never designed for vendors
Four problems come up in nearly every conversation we have with public safety vendors. Peak was built around them.
Different forms, different background check providers, different documentation standards — and requirements that change without warning.
Training certificates, signed addendums, fingerprint cards, and ID documents — for every employee, for every agency you serve.
Who completed training? Whose addendum expired? Which fingerprints were submitted? Today the answer usually lives in a spreadsheet.
Each agency wants submissions in a different format through a different channel — and renewals keep the cycle running indefinitely.
What does CJIS compliance require of a public safety vendor?
Every employee who touches criminal justice information goes through the same three stages — for every agency you serve.
Security awareness training for everyone who will touch CJI, completed before access is granted and renewed every year.
Each employee signs the FBI Security Addendum. Some states require their own version on top of it.
Fingerprint-based background checks with each agency customer, plus whatever forms, ID documents, and submissions that agency requires.

“It was taking 30 to 60 days to get an engineer submitted and cleared. Now it is taking a week max.”
30–60 days
became about two weeks for new hires, and a week at most for employees already on file, once Peak held the prints and handled the submissions.

Most vendors reprint an employee every time a new agency asks. Peak takes the prints once and builds the card for whichever agency needs it.
Your employee gets fingerprinted one time, at a local location.
Raw prints come to Peak for processing and intake.
Peak securely archives the prints.
Peak builds a fingerprint card to that agency's state-specific requirements and sends it back to you to submit. On Pro Managed, Peak submits it as well.
Fingerprint archiving and submission is included in Pro Archive and Pro Managed.
