Text: 59 The GCIC Council Rules establish training requirements for employees in each sheriff's office. See Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 140-2-.16. A Terminal Agency Coordinator (TAC) is an employee of the sheriff's office, designated by the sheriff, to serve as a liaison between the sheriff and the GCIC for CJIS network-related matters. 39 This TAC employee is trained by GCIC personnel and is subject to certification testing. Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 140-2-.16(3)-(4). The TAC is responsible for record validations, hit confirmations, and training of Terminal Operators. Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 140-2-.16(3). 60 A Terminal Operator 40 is also an employee of the sheriff's office who enters data in the GCIC's CJIS network. Terminal Operators must complete GCIC training workbooks and certification requirements. Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 140-2-.16(5)-(6). Terminal Operators enter criminal warrants into the CJIS network and annually validate them. In the Clayton County Sheriff's Office, these employees use the local CJIS system to gather warrant information and then enter it into the GCIC's CJIS system through the local CJIS terminal.
