“Criminal History Record Information” (CHRI) means information collected by criminal justice agencies on individuals consisting of identifiable descriptions and notations of arrests, detentions, indictments, information or other formal criminal charges and any disposition arising there from, sentencing, correctional supervision and release. (Department of Justice Rules and Regulations on Criminal Justice Information Systems 41 Fed Reg 11714, March 19, 1976.) CHRI information must be afforded strict privacy considerations by law enforcement agencies. Each agency must develop procedures for processing requests for record information and should utilize the assistance of their legal counsel; i.e., City Attorney, District Attorney, Corporation Counsel.
When requesting record checks using the TIME System all agencies must use the approved criminal query format. The inquiring agency must also provide the reason the information is requested by utilizing the appropriate purpose code on the message. All responses to requests for record checks must be provided using the approved criminal response format. (For complete explanation of message formats and coding see CHRI Section.)
