Can users input their own data into the IDACS system?

The statement that users can retrieve but not modify core data in the IDACS system is accurate and highlights the system's design for security and integrity. In IDACS, the primary focus is to maintain the accuracy and reliability of law enforcement and public safety data. Allowing users to freely input their own data would introduce risks of inaccuracies, inconsistency, and potential abuse of the system.

Users are typically granted access to retrieve and utilize existing data that can support their operational needs, while modifications to core data are reserved for authorized personnel, such as administrators or specifically designated individuals who are trained to handle sensitive information. This ensures that the integrity of the data remains intact and that modifications are made in a controlled and secure manner.

The other options suggest various levels of user input freedom, but they do not accurately reflect the standard operational protocols in the IDACS system.
