Completion of Final Disposition Report Involving
Domestic Abuse
Dispositions submitted to CIB that involve domestic abuse need to have that
information included with the primary statute. Individuals committing a domestic
abuse should have that information included with the original arrest and if that
offense is amended or prosecuted to a new final offense, domestic abuse should be
included with that charge. You must list the specific offense that was violated, i.e.,
battery, 940.19 (1), and the literal should include the fact that domestic abuse was
involved.
Literal wording that indicates domestic abuse should be included with the offense
literal. The following abbreviations can be used to indicate domestic abuse:
DV
DAC
DA
DAI
DVIP
(Domestic Violence)
(Domestic Abuse Contact)
(Domestic Abuse)
(Domestic Abuse Injunction)
(Domestic Violence in Progress)
CIB has created an in-house modifier statute that equals domestic abuse - 968. That
statute may also be included with the primary offense statute.
Examples of offenses including domestic abuse:
Battery/DV DC-DAC Dom Abuse/DC
940.19(1)/968 947.01/968 968/947.01
CIB Processing of Final Disposition Reports
When the Final Disposition Reports are received at the Crime Information Bureau
they must go through a number of steps before they are added to the related criminal
history record. First each final disposition is reviewed for complete and correct
information. If any required data is missing or the CIB has questions about the
information given the document will be returned for review by the submitting
agency.
After the dispositions have been reviewed and are found to contain the required
information they will processed through the data entry process to locate the related
criminal history record. At this point the CIB will verify that we have a fingerprint
card on file for the arrest in question. If no fingerprint card is on file CIB will return
a copy of the disposition to the arresting/contributing agency with the proper form
indicating "No fingerprint card on file for this arrest". The agency indicated as the
contributing agency will be requested to submit an arrest fingerprint card when they
return the disposition to CIB. Both the arrest and disposition information will then
be added to the criminal history database.
When dispositions meeting all the requirements for acceptance, the CIB records will
then be updated with this new information and the final disposition filed in the
related jacket file.
