2016 Survey of State Criminal History Information System

OMB No. 1121-0312: Approval Expires [03/31/2018]

Survey of State Criminal History Information Systems, 2016

Since 1989, the Survey of State Criminal History Information Systems has been used to collect the nation’s most complete, comprehensive and relevant data on the number and status of state-maintained criminal history records and on the increasing number of operations and services involving noncriminal justice background checks provided by the state repositories. This data collection is supported by Cooperative Agreement No. 2011-MU-MU-K054 awarded by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. Please note: Completion of the survey is voluntary; however, doing so is a special condition placed on all National Criminal History Improvement Program (NCHIP) and NICS Act Record Improvement Program (NARIP) awards.

Respondents using the online survey tool, accessible at http://www.search.org/surveys/repository/, to enter 2016 data can view previously submitted 2014 data for comparison purposes. Where applicable, your state’s 2014 responses are displayed in color within each section of the online survey. It is hoped that this information will help respondents complete the survey more accurately and efficiently. The cover letter provides the password to gain access to your state’s online survey. Direct your questions or comments to SEARCH staff Dennis DeBacco at 775-412-1950 or [email protected].

If more convenient, you may print the survey sections, complete them manually, and fax (916-392-8440) or mail them to the attention of Dennis DeBacco at SEARCH, 7311 Greenhaven Drive, Suite 270, Sacramento, CA 95831. The deadline for survey submission is [ ].

The survey is divided into six sections. You may submit each independently and not necessarily in the order presented. This is done so that different people on your repository’s staff may submit the data for which they are responsible. Repository directors are responsible to see that the survey is submitted in its entirety. Please note the following:

1. All reported data should be for calendar year 2016, or as of December 31, 2016.

2. The term “felony” includes any crime classified as a felony under your state’s laws. These offenses are generally punishable by a term of incarceration in excess of one year. If your state’s laws do not use the term “felony,” please substitute functional equivalents, such as class 1, 2, 3 and 4 offenses in New Jersey and class A, B and C offenses in Maine.

3. Questions that seek responses based on a “legal requirement” refer only to a state statute or a state administrative regulation having the force of law.

4. If additional space is needed, please use the “Additional Comments” area at the end of each section.

5. Please use the “Additional Comments” area at the end of each section to provide explanatory notes for responses that require explanation or when “no data is available,” and to describe significant changes between the current response and data reported in the 2014 survey.

6. If a question is not applicable to your repository, please indicate “NA” in the “Additional Comments” area at the end of each section.

Burden Statement

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, we cannot ask you to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The survey will be sent to criminal history repositories in 56 jurisdictions, including the 50 States, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The average time required for each agency to complete the survey is estimated at 6.5 hours. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any aspect of this survey, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the Director, Bureau of Justice Statistics, 810 Seventh Street, NW, Washington DC 20531. Do not send your completed form to this address.
