Can MULES be used for employment background checks?

MULES, or the Missouri Uniform Law Enforcement System, is specifically designed to aid law enforcement agencies in their operational and investigative functions. The system serves as a database for accessing important criminal justice information pertinent to law enforcement activities, such as criminal histories, missing persons, and stolen property records.

Employment background checks are typically the domain of different systems and processes, which may involve public records or specific employment verification services. While some law enforcement agencies may have access to those records, MULES itself is not intended for use in non-law enforcement contexts, such as regular employment screenings. This keeps MULES focused on its primary mission of supporting law enforcement efforts.

Therefore, the statement that MULES is designed solely for law enforcement purposes accurately reflects the system's intended use and constraints.
