Abstract
THE PLAN OUTLINES RHODE ISLAND'S APPROACH FOR IMPLEMENTING THE CENTRAL REPOSITORY FUNCTION WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND DEFINES AN ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE -- THE SECURITY AND PRIVACY SUBCOMMITTEE -- TO COORDINATE SECURITY AND PRIVACY EFFORTS. THE PLAN, WHICH WAS INTENDED AS AN ACTION DOCUMENT FOR ALL AREAS OF CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD HANDLING, WAS TO HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED BY THE END OF 1977. THE INTRODUCTORY SECTION STATES THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PLAN, DELINEATES RESPONSIBILITIES, DESCRIBES EXISTING CRIMINAL HISTORY SYSTEMS IN THE STATE, AND PRESENTS A CRITIQUE OF EXISTING DISPOSITION-REPORTING SYSTEMS. THE STATE'S APPROACH TO MEETING THE PLAN OBJECTIVES IS DOCUMENTED, PROCEDURES FOR INDIVIDUAL ACCESS TO AND REVIEW OF CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD INFORMATION ARE OUTLINED, AND MAJOR IMPLEMENTATION MILESTONES AND RESPONSIBILITIES ARE CHARTED. AN IMPLEMENTATION TIME SCHEDULE IS INCLUDED. (LKM)
