2020 Annual Report: Criminal Records Division

Key Measurements and Statistics

Successes of 2020

CRD staff met with court, law enforcement, prosecutor, and jail personnel from 18 counties in the state to collaborate on improving methods of sharing criminal history record information.

CRD provided 232 classes statewide to criminal justice personnel on topics such as proper fingerprinting techniques, how to read and interpret a record of arrest and prosecution (Rapsheet), administration of the statewide telecommunications system, and conducting background checks for firearm purchases.  Training personnel did an excellent job in transitioning classes that have traditionally been done in person throughout the state to new virtual formats due to COVID-19.

As the central state repository for individual criminal history record information and for vehicle collision reports, CRD received and processed 145,000 fingerprint arrest submissions, 464,000 court dispositions, and 94,000 police traffic collision reports.

CRD also processed 3,400 sex and kidnapping offender registrations submitted from Sheriff Offices.

Additional Information and Resources

CRD will be replacing two major systems in 2021, the state’s electronic criminal history system (WASIS) and the electronic “hot file” system (WACIC) that contains information about missing persons, wanted persons, warrants, and stolen vehicles.  For more information about the W2 Replacement Project, please click here.
