How is information typically inputted into the MULES system?

The MULES system is designed to handle sensitive law enforcement data securely and efficiently. Information is typically inputted into the MULES system via secured terminals using established protocols. This method ensures that the data is entered in a manner that protects the integrity and confidentiality of the information.

Using secured terminals allows for controlled access, limiting who can input or modify data. Established protocols are in place to guide the data entry process, ensuring standardization, accuracy, and adherence to legal requirements. This is crucial in law enforcement, where accuracy and security are paramount.

Other methods suggested, like phone calls to a help desk, handwritten reports, or email submissions, do not provide the necessary level of security and control needed for handling sensitive information related to law enforcement activities. By utilizing secured terminals, MULES maintains a reliable system for data entry that supports the needs of law enforcement agencies throughout Missouri.
