As used in this chapter, “criminal offender record information” means records and data compiled by criminal justice agencies for purposes of identifying criminal offenders and of maintaining as to each such offender a summary of arrests, pretrial proceedings, the nature and disposition of criminal charges, sentencing, incarceration, rehabilitation, and release.
Such information shall be restricted to that which is recorded as the result of an arrest, detention, or other initiation of criminal proceedings or of any consequent proceedings related thereto. It shall be understood to include, where appropriate, such items for each person arrested as the following:
(a) Personal indentification.
(b) The fact, date, and arrest charge; whether the individual was subsequently released and, if so, by what authority and upon what terms.
(c) The fact, date, and results of any pretrial proceedings.
(d) The fact, date, and results of any trial or proceeding, including any sentence or penalty.
(e) The fact, date, and results of any direct or collateral review of that trial or proceeding; the period and place of any confinement, including admission, release; and, where appropriate, readmission and rerelease dates.
(f) The fact, date, and results of any release proceedings.
(g) The fact, date, and authority of any act of pardon or clemency.
(h) The fact and date of any formal termination to the criminal justice process as to that charge or conviction.
(i) The fact, date, and results of any proceeding revoking probation or parole.
It shall not include intelligence, analytical, and investigative reports and files, nor statistical records and reports in which individuals are not identified and from which their identities are not ascertainable.
