Arrest/Custody Submissions
General Information
Submission Type
The Crime Information Bureau utilizes one fingerprint card for the entire
identification process. This card serves as the source document for submission of
inked fingerprint impressions and descriptive data to the CIB for persons
ARRESTED OR TAKEN INTO CUSTODY, APPLICANTS, UNKNOWN
DECEASED, or other IDENTIFICATION REQUESTS. The individual
completing the fingerprint card must clearly understand the reason that the
fingerprints are being obtained and submitted. (Prior to the completions and
submission of any fingerprint card ask the question, "Why is this card being
submitted? Is this an arrest, custody, applicant, unknown deceased, identification
request, or records check?")
The following sections detail the proper completion of the fingerprint card depending
on the "type of transaction."
The following codes are to be used in the submission type field for those agencies
