This handbook summarizes current procedures, forms, codes, and other documentation used for Criminal Records Reporting (CRR) in Michigan.
Abstract
Michigan's criminal justice network includes law enforcement agencies, prosecuting attorneys, courts, corrections, and the Central Records Division (CRD) of the Michigan State Police. Legislative changes have been made to refine the criminal records handling process. Law enforcement agencies normally begin the CRR process by completing the RI-7 fingerprint card and also record arrest information. Prosecuting attorneys represent the key communication links in handling CRR information. Codes and reporting elements associated with CRR are defined. Reporting procedures used by the CRD, correctional agencies, and courts are detailed. The handbook also covers juvenile and misdemeanor reporting procedures. Appendixes contain legislation affecting CRR and a list of crime class codes. Tables and figures
