PART OF A COURT PERSONNEL TRAINING PROJECT, THIS VIDEOTAPE ILLUSTRATES THE INFORMATION FLOW AND INTERACTION BETWEEN THE COURTS, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND VARIOUS OTHER STATE AGENCIES.
Abstract
THIS TAPE IS BASED ON CALIFORNIA LAW AND MAY NOT APPLY TO OTHER STATES. STARTING WITH A SIMPLE TRAFFIC ARREST, 'STATE SERVICES AND THE COURTS' TRACES THE FLOW OF INFORMATION BETWEEN THE HIGHWAY PATROL, A LOCAL MUNICIPAL COURT, AND SUCH STATE AGENCIES AS THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES, THE CALIFORNIA LAW ENFORCEMENT TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM (CLETS), AND THE BUREAUS OF CRIMINAL IDENTIFICATION AND INFORMATION (CII) AND CRIMINAL STATISTICS. THE PROGRAM ALSO EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF ACCURATE RECORDKEEPING AND TRANSMITTAL OF INFORMATION, AND EXPLORES THE CONTROVERSY OVER CONFIDENTIALITY OF RECORDS IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. FOR THE COMPLETE SET OF THE SKYLINE COLLEGE COURT SUPPORT PERSONNEL PROJECT VIDEOTAPES, SEE NCJ-35823-25, 36202-28, 36230, AND 36231. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT)
