68 | 11. Any citizen with residency in Washington County may request a Right of Access review of their own UCH through the application process with the WCSO. | ||
69 | 11. Any person requesting to review their UCH must complete an application in-person which provides the subject’s date of birth, social security number, full legal name, place of residency, and requester's signature. | ||
70 | 11. UCH print-outs will only be given to the requester in-person after positively identifying him/herself by providing a valid state driver license, state identification card, or a passport. | ||
71 | 11. No batch inquiries will be ran (requests shall not be collected and run by another person). | ||
72 | 11. No FBI (III) or out of state (NLETS) criminal history information will be inquired upon for Right of Access purposes. | ||
73 | 1. Rationale: | ||
74 | 11. Via BCI, right of access to a person's own UCH record is granted by law. | ||
75 | 11. The WCSO is not required to process right of access requests. | ||

77 | 11. The purpose code “P” shall be used when running any Right of Access request. | ||
78 | 11. Staff will enter the name of the person receiving their criminal history record in "requestor" field of the UCJIS transaction. | ||
79 | 11. Staff will use the words "Right of Access" in the auditing purpose field of the UCJIS transaction. | ||
80 | 11. A photocopy of the requester's valid identification, the WCSO application, and receipt of payment will be attached together and filed in the dissemination log file created for each year. | ||
81 | 11. Every page of the UCH print-out (a.k.a., rap sheet) will be stamped with a WCSO stamp which includes the date of printing. | ||
82 | 11. The requester will be informed that the UCH print-out is only valid for the date in which it was printed; thus, being outdated daily. | ||
83 | 11. The requester will be advised that any incorrect or missing data must be addressed directly with BCI so that the information can be corrected. | ||
84 | 11. The following WCSO employees may be allowed to process Right of Access review requests: | ||
85 | 111. TAC (typically only one at any given time); | ||
86 | 111. Alternate TAC (may be multiple at any given time); | ||
87 | 111. Any other WCSO employee who has received specialized training in Right of Access procedures. | ||
