The Wanted Persons System (WPS) was the first on-line, 24-hour pointer system established in 1971 by the California Department of Justice (DOJ). Authorized law enforcement agencies utilize the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) to submit felony, misdemeanor and protective custody warrant records into WPS. Misdemeanor and Felony warrants meeting specific criteria are programmatically forwarded to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and made available nationwide. The Wanted Persons Unit (WPU) maintains the database to ensure warrant information is accurately entered and in accordance with Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) and NCIC 2000 policies and procedures.
