Active Arrest Warrants

Programs that provide access to information about outstanding arrest warrants, i.e., orders that authorize the arrest and detention of an individual. Warrants are typically issued by the courts but may also be issued by one of the chambers of the United States Congress or other legislatures and other political entities; and must be supported by a signed and sworn affidavit showing probable cause that a specific crime has been committed and that the person(s) named in the warrant committed the crime.

Criminal History Records

Programs that maintain and, where appropriate, provide access to the cumulative record of occasions on which an individual has been arrested by a local or state police agency and convicted in a court of law of a felony or serious misdemeanor. Information included in an individual's criminal history record generally includes details regarding the arrest, the charges filed, the sentence imposed, the fine imposed and related probation, parole and release information. Court records are usually considered public records and are available without the individual's consent unless they have been sealed, as in the case of a minor. Although there is variability from state to state regarding what can be released, to whom and for what reasons, arrest records are not generally considered public records and are only made available to people other than law enforcement officials or the persons to whom the records pertain by statute or court order. In "open record" states, criminal record information, including arrest record data, is available to anyone who asks. Also included are programs that are responsible for investigating and correcting errors in the criminal history records of individuals who have had contact with law enforcement, the courts, correctional institutions, the probation system or other parts of the criminal justice system.

Driving/Accident Records

Programs that maintain and, where appropriate, provide access to the official cumulative driving history of an individual which includes citations or arrests for traffic violations or accidents while driving a motor vehicle.

FBI Files

Programs that maintain and, where appropriate, provide access to records maintained by the FBI regarding surveillance or other intelligence gathering activities that relate to particular individuals or organizations based on suspected violations of federal law, particularly in the areas of organized crime/drugs, terrorism, white-collar crime, foreign intelligence and violent crime; their arrest for those activities; their conviction; their sentencing; and/or their release from federal prison. FBI files also contain criminal history information submitted by state law enforcement agencies. Also included are programs that are responsible for investigating and correcting errors in FBI files that contain information about individuals who have had contact with that agency.

Fingerprint Repositories

Programs that maintain files of fingerprint records for use by law enforcement and medical officials to establish the identity of individuals who may be living or deceased or that of the perpetrators of specific crimes.

Police Reports

Programs that maintain and, where appropriate, provide access to the official statement of facts related by people who have reported, witnessed or were otherwise involved in a traffic accident or crime and filed by the official(s) who took the statement. Police reports can generally be released to the crime victim and the individual who filed the report, if other than the victim. Information about juveniles and victims is protected by law and is not released.
