The criminal history repository uses the fingerprints, palm prints and DNA of the defendant to assure that the correct identity of the defendant is maintained. All reporting to the criminal history repository must be based on the fingerprint card and all reference to the criminal case reporting must have a valid fingerprint card number known as the Offense Cycle Number (OCN). The OCN is the unique number pre-printed at the top of the finger print card or assigned by an automated fingerprint machine called a Live Scan. A new fingerprint card and OCN is assigned each time an individual is arrested an/or fingerprinted. Law enforcement officials, prosecuting attorneys, court clerks, the Department of Corrections (DOC) and the Department of Mental Health (DMH) are required to submit, without undue delay, certain criminal arrest, charge and disposition information to the Missouri Criminal Records Repository (MCRR) a so complete and accurate criminal history records may be maintained. Reportable offenses are any violations of municipal ordinances that are deemed comparable to felony or misdemeanor A violations; or any misdemeanor violation that can be enhanced to a class A misdemeanor or higher for subsequent violations as defined by Sections 43.500 and 43.506 RSMo and as listed in the Missouri State Charge Code Manual. Reportable offenses include all intoxication-related traffic offenses. Filings and dispositions must be reported to CJIS only in a manner approved by MSHP. If a person is charged with any offense for which fingerprints are required to be submitted to the central repository, and the defendant has not been fingerprinted, the court shall order a law enforcement agency to immediately fingerprint the person using the Order for Fingerprinting form located at the end of this section. The law enforcement agency must perform the fingerprinting and submit the completed fingerprint card to the central repository and furnish the city prosecutor and clerk of the court ordering the fingerprinting with the OCN within 30 days of the order. If the filing and disposition information is not supplied to the MSHP within 30 days, the arrest record filed with MSHP will be closed to the public until such information is provided. All records forwarded to the central repository shall include the OCN of the offense, the charge code for the offense, and the originating agency identifier number of the reporting prosecutor, using the numbers as assigned by the highway patrol. In 2010, the Legislature increased the importance of criminal history reporting of intoxication-related traffic offenses by requiring the courts to have a written policy on the criminal history reporting of these offenses which is covered in Reporting Intoxication-Related Offenses to the Repository in this section. In addition, each municipal court must report twice a year to the court en banc on all intoxication-related offenses. (Section 1.4 Administrative Reporting Requirements for more details).Criminal history reporting does not satisfy the reporting requirements for traffic citation dispositions. See section 3.4 Citation Processing Procedures for reporting to the Department of Revenue (DOR).LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORTING (Sections 43.503.2 and 43.503.8 RSMo)A criminal history record begins when a law enforcement agency completes a State Criminal Fingerprint Card, a three part form or obtains fingerprints electronically using Live Scan. Fingerprints should be obtained at the time of arrest or ordered by the judge at the initial court appearance. The law enforcement agency will submit their copy of the fingerprints to the Missouri Criminal Records Repository (MCRR), at which time a criminal history record is established. The Offense Cycle Number (OCN) is a unique number and is preprinted on the State Criminal Fingerprint Card or is pre-assigned for Live Scan use. All subsequent actions on this incident are reported to the central repository using the OCN. The criminal history record uses the fingerprint to establish positive identification and the OCN is used for tracking each arrest charge to a final disposition.Example of completed criminal fingerprint cardSee “Attachment A”PROSECUTOR REPORTING (Section 43.503.5 RSMo)Disposition Reporting Process: When charges are referred to the prosecuting attorney by law enforcement the arresting agency should forward the Prosecutor Action segment and the Court Action segment of the State Criminal Fingerprint Card to the prosecutor’s office. Using the Prosecutor Action segment the prosecuting attorney will notify the MCRR of charges that are not filed, deferred, or diversions. If charges are filed, the prosecuting attorney will forward the Prosecutor Action and Court Action segments of the State Criminal Fingerprint Card to the court. This provides the court with the current charges and the OCN associated with those chargesExample of completed prosecutor action filingSee “Attachment B”COURT REPORTING (Section 43.503 RSMo)The court clerk reports the charges filed, amended charges and any disposition [including not guilty, dismissed, and Suspended Imposition of Sentence (SIS)] associated with each OCN. For manual reporting courts, the Clerk forwards the blue copy or Prosecutor Action segment to MSHP when the case is filed.If, at the time of the initial hearing, an OCN was not established for any offense(s) for which a fingerprint is required by statute to be collected, maintained or disseminated by MCRR, the court shall order a law enforcement agency to immediately fingerprint the defendant using the Order for Fingerprinting form located at the end of this section. Once the person is fingerprinted, the law enforcement agency will forward the State Criminal Fingerprint Card to the MCRR within 30 days and shall furnish the OCN associated with the fingerprints to the prosecuting attorney and the clerk of the court that ordered the fingerprinting. Non-JIS Courts should use the Missouri State Charge Code Manual to determine if the charge requires an OCN. OSCA recommends preparing the Order to Fingerprint at the time of filing if the OCN is not provided on reportable offenses. This will ensure the OCN is obtained prior to disposition. JIS Courts should use the OSCA Reports Circuit Court Calendar and select the “Print OCN Description” report option when preparing the court calendar. This option will print the OCN on file, advise the OCN is required (if not on file), or advise the OCN is not required. Utilizing this option allows the court clerk to prepare, ahead of time, the Order for Fingerprinting for the judge’s signature to ensure the OCN is obtained prior to disposition. The OCN can consist of all numeric or both alpha and numeric characters, however the OCN will always be 8 characters in length and should never be fabricated. The OCN must be the exact identifier that appeared on the original fingerprint card. NOTE:At some point in the future, the fingerprint card may be replaced with another biometric means of unique identification.Below are examples of the completed court action copy of the State Criminal Fingerprint Card that the court clerk will receive from the prosecuting attorney and will complete at disposition.Example of a Completed Municipal Division CopySee “Attachment C”Court should record the filing and disposition for each charge including the disposition date, sentence, and include the court’s ORI number.Mail completed disposition to:Missouri State Highway PatrolCriminal Justice Information Services Division MSHP - CJISP.O.
