All requests coming from law enforcement agencies, submitting electronic fingerprint records, to the Crime Information Bureau need to provide a TCN number to the Fingerprint Identification Section when calling for a “Rush” search of a ten print record. The TCN number that is issued at the live scan and/or card scan device is used to track all records now being processed through the state’s new AFIS. The TCN number can be located in the third field from the top, once the record being submitted is opened, at the live scan or card scan device.
Sample TCN: CO1234567890
When calling (608-266-7598 and/or 608-264-9485) or sending by fax (608-267-8935) to the Fingerprint Identification Section of the Crime Information Bureau, on a record that has been transmitted, please furnish the TCN number, full name, sex & race, date-of-birth, and time & date the record was sent to CIB. An agency contact, name and telephone number will also be needed for CIB staff to return AFIS search results.
The above information is for AFIS results only. Requests for any corrections and/or additions that need to be made to a record that has been sent to CIB should (with arrest tracking number [ATN] in hand) call the Criminal History Records Unit at 608-266-9561 or fax the information (with the ATN) to 608-261-0660.
