The National Instant Criminal Background Check Systems (NICS) External Training Instructors are offering web-based training to the
NICS user community to assist in the identification and application of federal prohibitions associated with firearm purchase and/or
possession, to include the issuance of firearm-related permits and return of confiscated firearms.
These sessions allow the NICS user community to receive the training, tools, and resources needed to make an accurate determination
on an individual's firearm eligibility. The training sessions from the NICS External Training Instructors include the opportunity for
attendees to ask questions and interact with training instructors in real-time. Additionally, the training sessions feature group interactions
throughout and includes examples and exercises to enhance attendee understanding of provided content.
After submission, the NICS External Training Instructors will send a calendar invite to test connectivity with Microsoft Teams and provide
additional information about the training session and how to attend the selected sessions.

NICS Training Session Descriptions
NICS Overview: This session provides a brief history of NICS and an overview of the categories of NICS state participation with
emphasis and specifics related to the state being trained. This session includes a discussion on the databases queried with every NICS
check and how states or agencies can contribute to these databases. Within this overview, attendees are provided an overview of the
10 federal prohibitions, allowable access to the NICS, and resources available.
Federal Prohibition Training: This in-depth training encompasses the identification, criteria, and research involved within each of the
10 federal prohibitions associated with firearm purchase and/or possession. The training reviews the research tools and strategies, as
well as provides examples to demonstrate the needed documentation to meet the prohibition. Additionally, attendees will participate in
large group exercises that demonstrate actual criminal records and the research and analysis involved in a NICS background check
NICS Indices: This training reviews the functionality, navigation, and access related to the NICS Indices, which is one of the three
nationally held databases searched with every NICS check. Attendees will receive clarification on how information is submitted, what
information can be placed into the database, and the responsibilities of the entering agencies.
Law Enforcement Enterprise Portal (LEEP): This session explains how attendees obtain a LEEP account and provides a live
demonstration of the navigation through LEEP. LEEP training will assist attendees in locating and accessing the resources available to
assist with the research and analysis of the results of the background check.
Webinar Series: The NICS External Training Instructors developed the Webinar Series to promote the correct application and full
understanding of the criteria related to the federal prohibitions. These are one-hour sessions held throughout the year, each session
focuses on a specific prohibition or topic. The Webinar Series provides the NICS User community with the opportunity to gain additional
training and experience with applying the criteria for the federal prohibitions.
