Who can access MULES for court purposes?

Access to the Missouri Uniform Law Enforcement System (MULES) for court purposes is restricted to authorized law enforcement personnel who follow proper procedures. This means that only those individuals who have been granted the appropriate credentials and have a legitimate reason, such as fulfilling a law enforcement duty or court-related task, can access the system.

The requirement of following proper procedures ensures that the sensitive information contained within MULES is safeguarded. This measure helps to maintain the integrity of law enforcement operations and protects the privacy of individuals whose data may be stored in the system. Access is not available to just any law enforcement officer unrestrictedly or to judicial officers alone; rather, it is contingent upon the individual's role and the need for access as it relates to their responsibilities. Members of the public are not permitted to access MULES at all, which underscores the importance of controlled access to law enforcement databases.
