What should an officer do if they find outdated information in MULES?

When an officer encounters outdated information in the Missouri Uniform Law Enforcement System (MULES), it is critical for them to report it to their supervisor. This is essential because outdated information can affect investigations, lead to miscommunication, and potentially compromise public safety. By reporting the issue, the supervisor can take appropriate steps to ensure the information is reviewed, updated, or corrected through the proper channels, maintaining the integrity and reliability of the database.

Proper procedures are in place to handle such inaccuracies, which emphasizes the importance of following protocols rather than assuming the system will correct itself or publicly disclosing inaccuracies without following the chain of command. This approach helps in ensuring that all law enforcement officers have access to accurate and up-to-date information, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness of their duties.
