  summary of arrests, pretrial proceedings, the
  nature and disposition of criminal charges,
  sentencing, incarceration, rehabilitation and
  release. The summary criminal history records
  are commonly referred to as rap sheets.
• Law enforcement agencies are not authorized to
  access California CORI through CLETS for the
  purposes of licensing, employment, certification,
  or a record review.

Law Enforcement Issues with CJIS

• Incorrect Information
• Sealed Records
• Multiple Identities
• Mistaken Identities
• Access Limitations
• Right to know
• Need to know

CORI Information Restriction Contributed to
Rampart Scandal

• Officer backgrounds could be concealed to hide
  out of state arrests
• Officer backgrounds do not show sealed records
  such as juvenile arrests, convictions, or
  bankruptcies
• CORI information cannot be used a a hiring tool

Conclusion

• LAPD believes privacy is vital for all citizens
• LAPD experience reveals that criminal justice
  inquiries must be verified with a biometric such
  as fingerprinting
• LAPD must have open access to all records for
  high integrity and security positions (i.e.
  police officers and defined civilian employees)
• Criminal Justice System information should be for
  law enforcement purposes only
