Contributing/Arresting Agency Completion of Final Disposition
When an individual is taken into custody for an offense the fingerprint card and Final Disposition Report must be completed for submission to the Crime Information Bureau. Final Disposition Reports are only retained in the CIB files when there is a related fingerprint card on file. The portions of the final disposition that must be completed by the contributing/arresting agency are shown following.
The contributing/arresting agency is required to complete the data on the left side of the Final Disposition Report with the exclusion of the charge blocks on the lower left side. These are for the use of the Prosecutor/District Attorney to complete when the charges are being changed to something other than those filled out by the contributing/arresting agency. The Final Disposition Report must be initiated at the time the original fingerprint card is completed and all required data must appear exactly as it appears on the related fingerprint card submitted. If the transaction(s) listed in the "offenses charged at arrest" block are disposed of by the contributing/arresting agency, the final disposition must be completed with the appropriate information and mailed to the Crime Information Bureau for processing. In the event the case goes to the prosecutor the Final Disposition Report must be forwarded to the prosecutor with the appropriate case papers. A separate Final Disposition Report must be completed for each arrest charge listed on the fingerprint card. However, when an individual is being charged with multiple counts of the same offense (same state statute and subsections) they can be handled as one charge by indicating the number of counts next to the literal offense reported by the arresting agency.
When the prosecutor receives the final disposition form, they will note any changes or additions made to the arrest charges and forward to the clerk of court with the complaint, or indicate no prosecution and submit the CIB.
