Criminal Histories
Criminal Histories have two main components
1) Arrest• When an individual is arrested, they are taken to a booking facility and
fingerprinted
• This arrest and related fingerprints establish a criminal history for the
individual
• At this time, the individual is charged with one or more offenses and
these are listed in the arrest segment of the criminal history
Criminal Histories
Criminal Histories have two main components
2) Disposition• After the individual is arrested, they begin their process through the
court system
• Action taken by the prosecutor or court is recorded in the individual’s
criminal history
• This may include
• Offenses
• Plea
• Final outcome
• Sentencing provisions, fines, fees
• Probation or supervision
Criminal Histories
Criminal Histories
Arrest charges may be modified in the court process. They may be added, reduced or amended.
Entities using criminal histories for decision making now have the “whole story”
For example: A person arrested for a felony offense may have their charge reduced to a misdemeanor. This may mean the difference between the approval or denial of employment, housing or a firearm.
Why is the disposition important?
Dispositions
The Clerks of Court submit disposition data to FDLE on a monthly basis
These data files are submitted to LOGAN, an application maintained by FDLE and the Disposition staff
How does FDLE receive dispositions?
Dispositions
All 67 Clerks of Court submit data from their case management systems to FDLE through LOGAN
LOGAN uses a complex set of “edits” or rules to determine if the data is submitted in the proper format.
LOGANand the
Data Element Dictionary and Data Standards
LOGAN Upgrades
• The first official changes to the Data Element Dictionary (or “Pink Book”) since 1997
• The changes were authored by the OBTS Committee comprised of Clerks, FCCC, OSCA, FDLE, DC and DJJ
• FDLE is ready to accept files in the new format• We will continue to accept records in
the older format
Civil DispositionsEffective October 2014, and in conjunction with changes to the Criminal Justice Data Element Dictionary, the FDLE now displays civil outcomes to criminal charges on the Florida Rap Sheet. These civil outcome codes are now available for submission by the Clerks of Court and for manual entry by FDLE members.
New Civil Outcome Dispositions:
Transferred to Civil Court – The charge is reassigned to a civil court for processing.Civil/Not Criminal – This outcome can be used when the original charge was criminal but the final charge is not supported by a state criminal statute and not transferred to a civil court.
Both Transferred to Civil Court and Civil/Not Criminal actions can occur at the Prosecutor or Court phase.
