8 What Does ViCLAS Do? Establishes cross-jurisdictional database (Regional, National and International Levels) Establishes a systematic comparison of every case Creates a common language (use of the same definitions)

9 ViCLAS - Technology In 2014 ViCLAS transitioned from using hardcopy booklets to electronic booklets. Police Agencies use the Secure Access Portal to send the electronic booklets, as well as reports, photographs, etc. to the ViCLAS Unit. The booklets are then imported from the Secure Access Portal into the E-Submissions Database where all the cases are tracked. Once the case in completed, the ViCLAS Unit then sends the case, letter, QC sheet back to the originating agency through the Secure Access Portal.
