THIS STATEWIDE PLAN AFFECTS ALL AGENCIES COLLECTING, MAINTAINING, AND DISSEMINATING CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD INFORMATIION (CHRI) AS DEFINED IN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE REGULATION REGARDING SECURITY OF INFORMATION.
Abstract
AGENCIES FALL INTO TWO CATEGORIES RELATIVE TO HOW THEY ARE TREATED IN THE PLAN. AGENCIES WHICH HAVE RECEIVED LEAA FUNDING FOR CHRI PURPOSES FALL INTO THE FIRST CATEGORY. THESE AGENCIES ARE SPECIFICALLY COVERED IN THE REGULATION AND THE PLAN AND MUST CONFORM TO THE PLAN BY DECEMBER 31, 1977. THE SECOND CATEGORY INCLUDES AGENCIES WHICH DO COLLECT, MAINTAIN, OR DISSEMINATE CHRI BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED LEAA FUNDING. THESE AGENCIES ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY COVERED OR CERTIFIED IN THE PLAN; THEY ARE REGULATED BY ANY STATE STATUTES AND CENTRAL REPOSITORY PROCEDURES AS IMPLEMENTED UNDER THIS PLAN. THUS, THE PLAN DOES NOT REFER SPECIFICALLY TO MANY AGENCIES SUCH AS LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND COURTS WHICH MAY PROCESS CHRI; THEY ARE ALL INCLUDED IN PROPOSED LEGISLATION AND PROCEDURES. THE PLAN IS BASED PRIMARILY ON THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEM (CJIS) PLANNING WHICH HAS BEEN PROCEEDING IN CONNECTICUT FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAS CULMINATED IN A DESIGN CONCEPT, IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, AND DRAFT LEGISLATION. SINCE THE CJIS CONCEPT MEETS MOST OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE REGULATION, IT IS USED IN THIS PLAN AS THE DETAIL PLAN FOR IMPLEMENTATION BY DECEMBER 31, 1977. INTERIM PROCEDURES (PRIOR TO CJIS) AND ANY ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES REQUIRED ARE SPELLED OUT IN THE PLAN. THE PLAN IS COMPLETE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SECURITY SECTIONS. THE REPORT CONTAINS ANNEXES FOR EACH CHRI REPOSITORY WHICH MUST BE CERTIFIED AND APPENDIXES OF SUPPORTING MATERIAL. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED).
