Question 1

Can we release criminal history information?

Answer 1

Pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 11, Division 1, Chapter 7, Article 1, Section 707c, every agency is required to keep a record of each release of criminal offender record information for a minimum of three years from the date of release. a CHP 263B, Criminal Offender Record Information Release log shall be maintained by all offices. Information for all releases of criminal history information outside of the CHPO, including to district attorneys and courts, shall be stored on this document.

Question 2

Can a subject request CORI (Criminal Offender Record Information) about themselves, from us?

Answer 2

No.

Penal Code sections 11120-11127 allows the subject of the record to obtain a copy of their state criminal history in order to ensure the accuracy of the record and to refute any erroneous information contained in the record. The CHP SHALL NOT provide this information if requested. The subject must complete an application and submit to the DOJ to receive this information.
