FBI Criminal History Record Information

Due to the variance in state laws and policies, III information cannot be used for licensing or non-criminal justice employment purposes.

Individuals requesting access, review or challenge of their personal record must submit a written request directly to: Federal Bureau of Investigation, CJIS Division, Attn, SCU Module D-2, 1000 Custer Hollow Road, Clarksburg, WV 26306-0171. The request must be accompanied by a set of rolled-inked impressions, name, date of birth, and a certified check or money order for the fee amount.

CHRI received from the III is exempt from disclosure under Wisconsin Statute 19.35 based upon the Privacy Act of 1974. The Privacy Act of 1974 further provides in part that “Any person who knowingly and willfully requests or obtains any record concerning an individual from an agency under false pretenses shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and fined not more than $5,000.”

“Any person who under false pretenses” would include: (1) a police officer or any other employee entitled to criminal history record information who obtains such information from the FBI with the intention of using it for an unauthorized purpose; (2) an individual who knows that he/she has no right to such information and who, under false pretenses, receives the information from the above described employee; or (3) any person who knowingly receives, under false pretenses, criminal history record information via an unauthorized request directed to the FBI.
