Section 5-2 - Security for Receiving Agencies

(a) all agencies and organizations receiving criminal history information from the Division must ensure that the information is released only to authorized individuals. This information is confidential.

(b) All non-criminal justice agencies and organizations receiving criminal history information are responsible for adopting security measures designed to prevent unauthorized access, dissemination or disclosure of such information, and must at a minimum:

  • (i) restrict receipt to the director or supervisor of the agency or organizations, or to one person specifically designated by the director or supervisor to receive criminal history information;
  • (ii) maintain criminal history information in a separate physical device (e.g. filing cabinet) with access to the device limited to those stated in subdivision (i) above;
  • (iii) screen any person designated to receive criminal history information to ensure that the person understands the confidential nature of this information, has not previously violated any of these rules, and is familiar with the substance and intent of these rules.

(c) All criminal justice agencies receiving criminal history information shall maintain the same security measures set forth in subsection (b) above, except that receipt need not be restricted to the director or supervisor or one person specifically designated by the director or supervisor. Receipt and access shall be restricted to those persons designated by the director or supervisor of the criminal justice agency.
