Chapter 2
Records Administration
2–1. General
a. The MP records and files created under provisions of this regulation will be maintained and disposed of in
accordance with instructions and standards prescribed by AR 25–400–2, AR 25–55, AR 340–21, AR 25–1, AR
600–63, DA Pam 600–24, and other applicable HQDA directives.
b. Each installation PM or DES will appoint, in writing, two staff members (one primary and one alternate) to
account for and safeguard all records containing personally identifiable information (PII) protected by law. Action will
be taken to ensure that protected personal information is used and stored only where facilities and conditions will
preclude unauthorized or unintentional disclosure.
c. PII is information so unique to an individual that it enables others to identify the individual without his or her
knowledge or permission; the information may be used to obtain improper financial benefit. Some examples include
Social Security number (SSN), age, military rank or civilian grade, marital status, race, salary, home or office phone
numbers, and other demographic, biometric, personnel, medical, or financial information.
d. The system administrators for DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, will have a final secret clearance.
An interim secret security clearance is acceptable, provided the requisite personnel security investigation has been
submitted. All users of DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, will undergo mandatory pre-employment
background screening to make a determination as to the users’ character and trustworthiness. Foreign national
personnel employed by the installation PM or DES will undergo host nation LE and security agency checks, at local
and national levels, where permissible by host nation law. Access to the information in DA Form 190–45–SG, also
known as ALERTS, will be limited to levels no lower than installation ACOMs and ASCCs with a PM or DES.
e. Access to areas in which MP records are prepared, processed, and stored will be restricted to those personnel
whose duties require their presence and to other personnel on official business. The MP records containing PII will be
stored in a locked room or locked filing cabinet when not under the personal control of authorized personnel. Alternate
storage systems providing equal or greater protection will be used in accordance with AR 25–55.
f. All information contained within DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, is restricted by law (5 USC
552a (The Privacy Act)) to those who are authorized to handle criminal justice information. In order to maintain the
integrity of this sensitive information it will be accorded proper management and security, and will only be handled by
personnel who have been back grounded for law enforcement work (such as LE personnel CID, MP, DACP, police
administrators working for DES/PMO) and who have been trained in the appropriate handling of such sensitive
information as required by State and Federal law. Activity associated with any aspect of DA Form 190–45–SG, also
known as ALERTS, is subject to detailed monitoring and audits of all activity to protect against improper or
unauthorized use, access or dissemination of “sensitive information.” Unauthorized use, which includes requests,
dissemination, sharing, copying or receipt of information within DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, could
result in civil proceedings against the offending agency and/or criminal proceedings against any user or other person
involved. Violations or misuse may also subject the user and the user’s command to administrative sanctions and
possible disciplinary action by their command, subject to due process, against its employee(s). This could result in
termination of access to DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS.
g. Only personnel on official business can have access to areas in which computers are used to store, process, or
retrieve MP records (for example, remote computer terminals and authorized personal computers used for Government
business and activities). When processing MP information, computer video display monitors will be positioned so that
protected information cannot be viewed by unauthorized persons. Computer output from automated MP systems will be
controlled as specified in d and e, above.
h. Output from any locally prepared data or automated systems containing personal information subject to 5 USC
552a (The Privacy Act) will be controlled in accordance with AR 340–21. All locally created unique automated
systems of records containing LE information developed by ACOMs, ASCCs, DRUs, supported or supporting com-
mands, must be reported to and approved by the PMG. The request must clearly document why DA Form 190–45–SG,
also known as ALERTS, cannot meet the requirements or objectives of the organization. After review and approval by
HQDA, the installation, IMCOM, USAMC, MEDCOM, and other ACOMs, ASCCs, and DRUs will complete and
process the systems notice for publication in the Federal Register in accordance with AR 340–21 and 5 USC 552a (The
Privacy Act).
i. The installation PMs or DESs using automated systems will appoint, in writing, as an additional duty, an
information assurance security officer who will ensure implementation of automation security requirements within the
organization. Passwords used to control systems access will be generated, issued, and controlled by the information
assurance security officer.
j. Supervisors at all levels will ensure that personnel whose duties involve preparation, processing, filing, and release
of MP records are knowledgeable of, and comply with policies and procedures contained in, this regulation, AR 25–55,
AR 340–21, and other applicable HQDA directives. Particular attention will be directed to provisions on the release of
information and protection of privacy.
19AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
k. The MP records identifying juveniles as offenders will be clearly marked as juvenile records and will be kept
secure from unauthorized access by individuals. Juvenile records will be stored with adult records, but clearly
designated as juvenile records even after the individual becomes of legal age. In distributing information on juveniles,
the installation Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Office will ensure that only individuals with a clear reason to
know the identity of a juvenile are provided the PII on the juvenile. For example, a community commander is
authorized to receive pertinent information on juveniles under their jurisdiction. When the LER identifying juvenile
offenders must be provided to multiple commanders or supervisors, the installation FOIA Office must sanitize reports
to withhold juvenile information not pertaining to that commander’s area of responsibility.
l. The MP records in the custody of USACRC will be processed, stored, and maintained in accordance with policy
established by the Director, USACRC.
2–2. Safeguarding official information
a. The MP records are unclassified except when they contain national security information as defined in AR 380–5.
b. When MP records containing PII are transmitted outside the installation LE community to other departments and
agencies within DOD, such records will be marked “For Official Use Only” (FOUO). These records will be transmitted
as prescribed by AR 25–55. Use of an expanded marking is required for certain records transmitted outside DOD per
AR 25–55.
c. The MP records will also be released to Federal, State, local, or foreign LE agencies as prescribed by AR 340–21.
Expanded markings will be applied to these records.
2–3. Special requirements of The Privacy Act of 1974
a. Certain PII is protected under 5 USC 552a (The Privacy Act) and AR 340–21.
b. Pursuant to 5 USC 552a(e)(3), when an Army activity asks an individual for his or her PII that will be maintained
in a system of records, the activity must provide the individual with a Privacy Act Statement. A Privacy Act Statement
notifies individuals of the authority, purpose, and use of the collection, whether the information is mandatory or
voluntary, and the effects of not providing all or any part of the requested information.
c. Army LE personnel performing official duties often require an individual’s PII, including SSN for identification
purposes. This PII can be used to complete the LER and records. In addition to Executive Order 9397, as amended by
EO 13478, the solicitation of the SSN is authorized by paragraph 2.c.(2) of DODI 1000.30, which covers reduction of
SSN use within DOD. The purpose is to provide commanders and law enforcement officials with means by which
information may accurately be identified. The SSN is used as an additional or alternate means of identification to
facilitate filing and retrieval. The following procedures will be used for identification:
(1) Active Army, USAR, ARNG/ARNGUS, and retired military personnel are required to produce their common
access card, or other Government-issued identification, as appropriate.
(2) Family members of sponsors will be requested to produce their DD Form 1173 (Uniformed Services Identifica-
tion and Privilege Card). Information contained thereon (for example, the sponsor’s SSN) will be used to verify and
complete applicable sections of the LER and related forms listed in sections III and IV of appendix A.
(3) All DOD civilian personnel will be requested to produce their appropriate service identification. The DA Form
1602 (Civilian Identification) or the common access card will be requested from DA civilian employees. If unable to
produce such identification, DOD civilians will be requested to provide other verifying documentation.
(4) Non-DOD civilians, including military Family members and those whose status is unknown, will be advised of
the provisions of The Privacy Act Statement when requested to disclose their PII, including SSN, as required.
d. Requests for new systems of MP records, changes to existing systems, and continuation systems not addressed in
existing public notices will be processed as prescribed in AR 340–21, after approval is granted by HQDA, OPMG
(DAPM–MPO–LE), 2800 Army Pentagon, Washington, DC 20310–2800.
e. The statutes 5 USC 552a (The Privacy Act), 10 USC 301, and 5 USC 2951 require that Federal agencies inform
individuals, at the time information is solicited from them, whether the disclosure is mandatory or voluntary, by what
authority such information is solicited, and what uses will be made of the information. Authority for soliciting SSNs is
Executive Order 13478. The purpose is to provide commanders and law enforcement officials with means by which
information may accurately identified. The SSN is used as an additional or alternate means of identification to facilitate
filing and retrieval. Disclosure of SSNs is voluntary.
f. Notwithstanding the requirement to furnish an individual with a PAS when his or her PII will be maintained in a
system of records, AR 340-21, which covers The Army Privacy Program, provides that records contained in SORN
A0190-45, Military Police Reporting Program Records (MRRP), that fall within 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) are exempt from
the requirement in 5 U.S.C. 552a (e)(3) to provide a PAS.
2–4. Administration of expelled or barred persons file
a. When action is completed by an installation commander to bar an individual from the installation under 18 USC
1382, the installation PM or DES will be provided with—
(1) A copy of the letter or order barring the individual.
20 AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
(2) Reasons for the bar.
(3) Effective date of the bar and period covered.
b. The installation PM or DES will maintain a list of barred or expelled persons. When the bar or expulsion action is
predicated on information contained in MP investigative records, the bar or expulsion document will reference the
appropriate MP record or the LER. When an LER results in the issuance of a bar letter, the installation PM or DES
will forward a copy of the bar letter to Director, USACRC to be filed with the original LER. The record of the bar will
also be entered into COPS, in the Vehicle Registration System (VRS) module, under “Barrings.”
2–5. Police intelligence and criminal information
a. The purpose of gathering police intelligence is to identify individuals, or groups of individuals, in an effort to
anticipate, prevent, or monitor possible criminal activity. Police intelligence aids criminal investigators in developing
and investigating criminal cases. The AR 195–2 designates USACIDC as having the primary responsibility to operate a
criminal intelligence program. Criminal intelligence will be reported through the DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as
ALERTS, and other criminal intelligence products. The crimes listed in paragraphs (1) through (9) below, as well as
the reportable incidents, behavioral threat indicators, and other matters of counterintelligence interest specified by AR
381–12, will be reported to the nearest Army Counter Intelligence (CI) office—
(1) Sedition.
(2) Aiding the enemy by providing intelligence to the enemy.
(3) Spying.
(4) Espionage.
(5) Subversion.
(6) Treason.
(7) International terrorist activities or material support to terrorism (MST).
(8) Unreported contacts with foreigners involved in intelligence activities.
(9) Unauthorized or intentional disclosure of classified information.
b. Information on persons and organizations not affiliated with DOD will not normally be acquired, reported,
processed, or stored. Situations justifying acquisition of this information include, but are not limited to—
(1) Theft, destruction, or sabotage of weapons, ammunition, equipment facilities, or records belonging to DOD units
or installations.
(2) Protection of Army installations and activities from potential threat.
(3) Information received from the FBI, State, local, or international LE agencies that directly pertain to the law
enforcement mission and activity of the installation PM or DES office; the ACOM, ASCC, or DRU PMO or DES; or
that has a clearly identifiable military purpose and connection. A determination that specific information will not be
collected, retained, or disseminated by intelligence activities does not indicate that the information is automatically
eligible for collection, retention, or dissemination under the provisions of this regulation. The above policies are not
intended—and will not be used—to circumvent any Federal law that restricts gathering, retaining, or dissemination of
information on private individuals or organizations.
c. Retention and disposition of information on non-DOD affiliated individuals and organizations are subject to the
provisions of AR 380–13 and AR 25–400–2.
d. If a written extract from local police intelligence files is provided to an authorized investigative agency, the
following will be included on the transmittal documents: “THIS DOCUMENT IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION
AND USE. COPIES OF THIS DOCUMENT, ENCLOSURES THERETO, AND INFORMATION THEREFROM,
WILL NOT BE FURTHER RELEASED WITHOUT THE PRIOR APPROVAL OF THE INSTALLATION PRO-
VOST MARSHAL/DIRECTORATE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES.”
e. Local police intelligence files will be exempt from certain disclosure requirements by AR 25–55 and 5 USC 552
(The Freedom of Information Act), commonly known as the FOIA.
2–6. Name checks
a. Information contained in MP records will be released under the provisions of AR 340–21 to authorized personnel
for valid background check purposes. Examples include child care and youth program providers, sexual assault
response coordinators, unit victim advocates, access control, unique or special duty assignments, security clearance
procedures, and for suitability and credentialing purposes. Any information released must be restricted to that necessary
and relevant to the requester’s official purpose. The installation PMs and DESs will establish written procedures to
ensure that release is accomplished in accordance with AR 340–21.
b. Checks will be accomplished by a review of DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS. Information will be
disseminated according to chapter 3 of this regulation.
c. In response to a request for local files or name checks, installation PMs and DESs will release only founded
offenses with status of the disposition and what action was taken, to include if no action taken. Offenses determined to
21AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
be unfounded will not be released. These limitations do not apply to requests submitted by LE agencies for LE
purposes or to CI investigative agencies for counterintelligence purposes.
d. DA Form 190–45–SG is a database called ALERTS, which contains all LERs filed worldwide. Authorized users
of DA Form 190–45–SG can conduct name checks for criminal justice purposes. To conduct a name check, users must
have the SSN, foreign national number, or the first and last name of the individual. If a search is done by name only,
DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, will return a list of all matches to the data entered. Select the
appropriate name from the list.
e. A successful query of DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, would return the following information—
(1) The LER number.
(2) Report date.
(3) The SSN.
(4) Last name.
(5) First name.
(6) Whether the individual has a protected identity.
(7) A link to view the LER, DA Form 4833, and DA Form 3946 (Military Police Traffic Accident Report).
(8) Whether the individual is a subject, victim, or a person related to the report disposition.
f. Name checks will include the criteria established in DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, and the
USACRC. All of the policies and procedures for such checks will conform to the provisions of this regulation. Any
exceptions to this policy must be coordinated with HQDA, PMG before any name checks are conducted. The following
are examples of appropriate uses of the name check feature of DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS:
(1) Individuals named as the subjects of SIRs.
(2) Individuals named as subjects of investigations who must be reported to the USACRC.
(3) Employment as child care or youth program providers.
(4) Local checks of DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, as part of placing an individual’s information
there.
(5) Name checks for individuals employed in law enforcement positions.
g. The installation PM or DES will ensure that an audit trail is established and maintained for all information
released from MP records.
h. Procedures for the conduct of name checks with the USACRC are addressed in AR 195–2. The following
information is required for USACRC name checks (when only the name is available, USACRC should be contacted
telephonically for assistance)—
(1) Full name, date of birth, SSN, and former Service number of the individual concerned.
(2) The specific statute, directive, or regulation on which the request is based, when requested for other than
criminal investigative purposes.
i. Third party checks (first party asks second party to obtain information from third party on behalf of first party)
will not be conducted.
2–7. Registration of sex offenders on Army installations (inside and outside the continental United
States)
a. Garrison commanders will ensure that all sex offenders (in accordance with para b, below) that reside or are
employed on an Army installation, register with the installation PM or DES. This includes Servicemembers, civilian
employees, accompanying dependent Family members, and contractors, subject to the incorporation of the sex offender
registration requirement into the contract.
b. A sex offender is defined as—
(1) Any person, including but not limited to a Service member, Service member’s Family member, civilian
employee, civilian employee’s family member, or contractor, who either is registered or required to register as a sex
offender by any law, regulation or policy of the United States, the Department of Defense, the Army, a State, the
District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, America Samoa, The Northern Mariana Islands, the
U.S. Virgin Islands, or a Federally recognized Indian tribe. This definition is not limited to persons convicted for
felony sex offenses but includes all persons who are registered or required to register as a sex offender regardless of
the classification of their offenses, including felonies, misdemeanors, and offenses not classified as a felony or
misdemeanor.
(2) The persons who are sex offenders as defined in paragraph b(1) include those convicted by a foreign government
of an offense equivalent or closely analogous to a covered offense under the Uniform Code of Military Justice as
provided in AR 27-10. See 42 USC 16911(5)(B) and U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General, The
National Guidelines for Sex Offender Registration and Notification, Final Guidelines, 73 FR 38030, 38050-1 (July 2,
2008) for guidelines and standards. Contact the servicing Office of the Staff Judge Advocate for assistance in
interpreting or applying this provision.
c. Sex offenders, as defined in subparagraph b, must register with the installation PMO or DES within 3 working
22 AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
days of first arriving on an installation. Sex offenders must provide the installation PMO or DES with evidence of the
qualifying conviction. The PMO or DES will enter the registering sex offender’s conviction information on a raw data
file (RDF) as an information entry into DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, with the State the sex offender
was convicted, date of conviction, and results of conviction, to include length of time required to register and any
specific court ordered restrictions. Registration with the PMO or DES does not relieve sex offenders from their legal
obligation to comply with applicable State and local government registration requirements for the state in which they
reside, work, or attend school. (See AR 190–47 and AR 27–10.) Registration with the State is also required under 42
USC 16901 et seq. (The Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act), and implemented by AR 27–10 and DODI
1325.07. In addition, upon assignment, reassignment, or change of address, sex offenders will inform the installation
PM or DES within three working days. Failure to comply with registration requirements is punishable under Federal or
State law and/or under the UCMJ. "State" in this paragraph includes any jurisdiction listed in paragraph b of this
section in which a sex offender is required to register.
d. Installation PMOs and DESs will—
(1) Maintain and update a monthly roster of current sex offenders’ names and provide it to the Sexual Assault
Review Board; the ACOM, ASCC and DRU PMs and DESs; and the garrison commander.
(2) Notify gaining PMs or DESs when a Soldier who is a sex offender out-processes the installation PMO or DES,
and provide a copy of the DD Form 2791 (Notice of Release/Acknowledgement of Convicted Sex Offender Registra-
tion Requirements), if applicable, and RDF to the gaining installation PM or DES, ensuring compliance with applicable
privacy and information handling policies.
e. DOD civilians, contractors, and Family members that fail to register at the installation PMO or DES are subject to
a range of administrative sanctions, including but not limited to, a complete or limited bar to the installation and
removal from military housing.
f. Installation PMs and DESs must be familiar with applicable State registration requirements for sex offenders.
Installation PMs and DESs will coordinate with the local SJA and local LE agencies to identify and register those sex
offenders required to register on the installation.
(1) Installation PMs or DESs will complete the following procedures for Soldier sex offender registration—
(a) Obtain a completed DD Form 2791 from trial counsel when a Soldier is convicted at a special or general courts
martial of a qualifying offense but the sentence does not include any term of confinement. The installation PM or DES
will ensure that a copy of the DD Form 2791 is filed with the USACRC, along with any report of investigation related
to the qualifying conviction.
(b) Provide all military sex offenders with the “State registration” document(s), available through State and local LE
agencies for use in registration. Direct the Soldiers to the local or State law enforcement agency, which will register
them based on their physical residence address and subsequently notify the installation to which they are assigned.
Installation PMs and DESs in the United States will provide written notice of the conviction or transfer to the
offender’s gaining unit commander, the State’s chief LE officer, the chief LE officer of the local jurisdiction in which
the accused will reside, the State or local agency responsible for the receipt or maintenance of a sex offender
registration where the person will reside, and upon request, governmental officials of foreign countries. Installation PM
and DES notifications to State and local officials are described in DODI 1325.07.
(c) Complete an RDF as an information entry into DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, using the “9Q”
offense code.
(d) Complete the “Subject” section on the RDF, to identify the sex offender. Ensure the sex offender produces either
evidence of their qualifying conviction or their sex offender registration paperwork in order to complete the “Narrative”
with the state where the sex offender was convicted, date of conviction, and results of conviction, to include length of
time required to register and any specific court ordered restrictions.
(e) Provide written notice to State and local LE agencies of the arrival of an offender to their local area.
(2) Installation PMs and DESs will complete the following procedures for all other sex offenders required to register
on the installation—
(a) Complete an RDF as an information entry into DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, using the “9Q”
offense code.
(b) Complete the “Subject” section on the RDF to identify the sex offender. Ensure the sex offender produces either
evidence of the qualifying conviction or the sex offender registration paperwork in order to complete the “Narrative”
with the state in which the sex offender was convicted, date of conviction, and results of conviction, to include length
of time required to register and any specific court ordered restrictions.
2–8. Collection of deoxyribonucleic acid
a. Army LE personnel will collect deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) pursuant to DODI 5505.14. Per this regulation, a
sample of an individual’s DNA is to allow for positive identification and to provide or generate evidence to solve
crimes through database searches of potentially matching samples. DNA samples will not be collected from juveniles.
b. Army LE investigators (MPs, CID agents, MP investigators, and DA civilian police detectives) must consult their
23AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
servicing staff judge advocate to determine whether they are within the geographic jurisdiction of a Federal District
Court that has held the collection of DNA, under 42 USC 14135a(a)(1)(a), to be unconstitutional.
c. Installation PMs and DESs will request and fund the DNA database collection kits from USACIL.
d. Once DNA samples are taken, installation PMs and DESs must ensure DNA samples are expeditiously forwarded
to USACIL.
e. Army LE personnel will forward DNA samples taken from Soldiers to USACIL if one of the following
circumstances exists—
(1) An Army LE investigator obtains a probable cause opine/concurrence from JAG concluding that there is
probable cause that a subject being fingerprinted committed an offense identified in table 4-1, below. LE personnel will
take DNA from all drug offenders, except those who are arrested or detained for the offenses of simple possession and
personal use (UCMJ, Art. 112a). However, LE personnel will take DNA from these excluded offenders when charges
are preferred for or the subjects are convicted at special or general court-martial of simple possession or use.
(2) The investigator may collect DNA samples prior to consulting a judge advocate but will not forward the samples
to USACIL until probable cause is determined based on judge advocate consultation.
(3) When court-martial charges are preferred, in accordance with Rule for Court-Martial 307, and if any LE
personnel have not previously obtained and submitted a DNA sample.
(4) When a Soldier is ordered into pre-trial confinement by a competent military authority after a commander
completes the 72-hour memorandum required by Rule for Courts-Martial 305(h)(2)(c), and if LE has not previously
obtained and submitted a DNA sample.
(5) When a Soldier is confined to a military correctional facility or temporarily housed in civilian facilities, as a
result of a general or special court-martial conviction, and if LE have not previously obtained and submitted a DNA
sample.
f. Army LE personnel will obtain a DNA sample from a civilian in their control at the point it is determined there is
probable cause to believe the detained person violated a Federal statute equivalent to the offenses identified in table 4-
1, except for the listed violations that are exclusively military offenses. For the purposes of this regulation, DNA shall
be taken from all civilian drug offenders, except those who are arrested or detained for the offenses of simple
possession and personal use. When Army LE personnel make a probable cause determination concerning a civilian not
in their control, Army LE personnel are not required to collect DNA samples. Likewise, Army LE personnel are not
required to obtain DNA samples when another LE agency has, or will, obtain the DNA.
g. Army LE personnel will use the USACIL DNA database collection kit, which includes a DNA sample card and
the USACIL DNA database collection eform, to collect DNA samples in accordance with this regulation. Army LE
personnel will document, in the appropriate case file, when civilian LE agencies handle any aspect of the DNA
processing and whether the civilian LE agency forwarded the DNA sample to the FBI laboratory.
(1) Army LE personnel will complete the DNA database collection kit training program prior to using the kit. The
training presentation CD is included in the kit. It is also available on the USACIL portal at https://usacil.forscom.army.
mil/codis/default.aspx.
(2) Army LE personnel will ensure The Privacy Act Statement and Notice of the General Rights for Requesting
Expungement (both are included in the USACIL kit) are provided to subjects when DNA samples are collected.
(3) The kit includes a pink DNA sample card and data card. Army LE personnel will write the SSN or any available
means of identification (license number; resident number) of the individual whose DNA is being taken on both the
back of the DNA sample card and data card. The LER will be entered on the data card.
h. Expungement procedures include the following—
(1) Soldiers may request, in writing, that their DNA records be expunged if their DNA sample was taken but they
are not convicted of any offense by general or special courts-martial (including action generally inconsistent with such
conviction, such as administration of nonjudicial punishment, administrative separation, or referral to a summary
court).
(a) Soldiers must forward requests for expungement through the first commanding officer in the grade of major, or
higher, in the Soldier’s chain of command. Requests must include proof that charges were dismissed, withdrawn,
disposed of in a manner not resulting in preferral of charges pursuant to RCM 307, or otherwise did not or will not
result in a conviction of any offense (including proof of action by a general or special court-martial convening
authority resulting in full acquittal).
(b) The first commanding officer in the grade of major or higher then reviews, confirms the information, and
submits the request through the installation PM or DES.
(c) Installation PMs and DESs then receive the expungement requests and must ensure Soldiers have no convictions
prohibiting the expungement. Installation PMs and DESs must provide a memorandum to USACIL stating that the
individual is entitled to expungement. Requests must be on letterhead and bear the title, signature, and telephone
number of the Army LE personnel submitting the request, as well as the Soldier’s full name, SSN, and mailing address.
Requests must include all documents submitted by the member, along with additional relevant documents in the
possession of the commander or official receiving the request. Installation PMs and DESs will forward the memoran-
dum to the attention of the Combined DNA Index System Branch chief at USACIL for action. The Army LE
24 AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
organization will maintain a copy of requests for expungement in the case file. This includes those requests not
forwarded to USACIL because expungement was not appropriate.
(d) Installation PMs and DESs will forward to USACRC the expungement request memoranda and associated
documentation to be included in the case file.
(e) If the commanding officer, after consulting with a judge advocate, determines that expungement is not author-
ized, the commander notifies the requestor in writing with a copy furnished to the Army LE organization.
(2) The DODI 5505.14 details the procedures former Soldiers and civilians must follow to request expungement of
their DNA records. Former Soldiers and civilians from whom DNA samples have been taken, but were not convicted,
do not submit requests to have their DNA record expunged through installation PMO or DES channels. To request
expungement of DNA records for civilians pursuant to Sections 14132 of Title 42, United States Code, the requestor or
legal representative must submit a written request to: FBI Laboratory Division, 2501 Investigation Parkway, Quantico,
VA 22135, Attention: Federal Convicted Offender Program Manager.
i. This policy does not eliminate other legal or policy requirements to provide DNA, fingerprints, or criminal history
data, including submissions to the Defense Incident-Based Reporting System (DIBRS). DNA expungement allowed by
this policy does not also allow the expungement of DNA gathered under any other legal, policy, or administrative
requirements.
j. This policy does not affect OPMG policies and procedures for the identification, collection, and retention of
biological and other physical evidence during the course of an investigation.
2–9. Armed escorts and unique Federal agency number documentation
In compliance with AR 190–30 and AR 25–400–2, the installation PMO or DES will ensure the completion and
submission of LER and supporting documentation in DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, and to USACRC
for all armed escorts of Soldiers who are absent without leave (AWOL), deserters, and military prisoners. The
installation PMO or DES will add an information entry into the blotter records of AWOL and prisoner escorts by law
enforcement. Supporting documents must include—
a. Colonel-level commander’s armed escort approval and a unique Federal agency number request memorandum (if
using commercial air).
b. The DD Form 2977 (Deliberate Risk Assessment Worksheet). For use of the form, see ATP 5–19.
c. The DA Form 7630 (Department of the Army Law Enforcement Escort Credential). For use of the form, see AR
190–9.
d. A completed DA Form 4833.
e. Absentee and deserter documents as applicable—
(1) The DD Form 553 (Deserter/Absentee Wanted by the Armed Forces).
(2) The DD Form 616 (Report of Return of Absentee).
(3) The LER.
f. Prisoner documents as applicable—
(1) The DD Form 2707 (Confinement Order). For use of the form, see AR 190–47.
(2) Assignment orders (identification of confinement or correctional facility).
(3) Result of Trial.
Chapter 3
Release of Information
3–1. General
a. The policy of HQDA is to conduct activities in an open manner and provide the public accurate and timely
information. Accordingly, LE information will be released to the degree permitted by law and Army regulations. The
public affairs officer (PAO) must be informed of information released outside the local jurisdiction, and the PAO must
be included as a trusted agent on communications between the installation PM, or DES, and the commander (see AR
360–1).
b. Any release of MP records or information compiled for LE purposes, whether to persons within or outside the
Army, must be in accordance with the FOIA and The Privacy Act.
c. Requests by individuals for access to MP records about themselves will be processed in compliance with AR
25–55 and AR 340–21.
d. The MP records in the temporary possession of another organization remain the property of the originating LE
agency. The following procedures apply to any organization authorized temporary use of MP records—
(1) Any request from an individual seeking access to MP records must be immediately referred to the originating LE
agency for processing. The temporary custodian of MP records does not have the authority to release those records.
25AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
(2) When the temporary purpose of the using organization has been satisfied, the MP records will be returned to the
originating law enforcement agency or the copies will be destroyed.
(3) A using organization will maintain information from MP records in their system of records, if approval is
obtained from the originating LE agency. This information will include reference to an MP record (for example, LER
number or date of offense), a summary of information contained in the record, or the entire MP record. When a user
includes an MP record in its system of records, the originating LE agency must delete portions from that record to
protect special investigative techniques, maintain confidentiality, preclude compromise of an investigation, and protect
other LE interests.
3–2. Guidelines for disclosure within the Department of Defense
a. Criminal record information contained in MP documents will not be disseminated unless there is a clearly
demonstrated, official, need to know. A demonstrated, official, need to know exists when the record is necessary to
accomplish a function that is within the responsibility of the requesting activity or individual, is prescribed by statute,
DOD directive, regulation, or instruction, or by Army regulation.
(1) Criminal record information will be disclosed to commanders or staff agencies to assist in executing criminal
justice functions. Only that information reasonably required will be released. Such disclosure must clearly relate to a
LE function.
(2) Criminal record information related to subjects of criminal justice disposition will be released when required for
security clearance procedures.
(3) Criminal record information will be released to an activity when matters of national security are involved.
(4) When an individual informs an activity of criminal record information pertaining to him or her, the receiving
activity will seek verification of this information through the responsible LE agency or will forward the request to that
organization. The individual must be advised by the receiving agency of the action being pursued. Law enforcement
agencies will respond to such requests in the same manner as with requests under FOIA and The Privacy Act.
(5) Army Directive 2013-06, dated 14 February 2013, authorizes brigade-level or higher commanders (0-6 or above)
to receive criminal history reports, stored in Army law enforcement systems, on newly assigned Soldiers. The criminal
history checks involve Soldiers in a permanent change of station, intra-installation or intra-theater reassignment. The
criminal history checks will identify all founded offenses, to include any known adjudication, over the last 5 years of
the Soldiers’ time in service.
b. Nothing in this regulation will be construed to limit the dissemination of information between military police, the
USACIDC, and other LE agencies within the Army and DOD.
c. Information released within the DOD must be structured to support DOD guidance on net-centric data sharing
implementation, under DOD 8320.02–G, and must conform to the standards, principles, and business rules in the
common operating environment.
3–3. Release of information
a. Release of information from Army records to agencies outside DOD will be governed by AR 25–55, AR 340–21,
AR 600–37, and this regulation. Procedures for release of certain other records and information is contained in AR
20–1, AR 27–20, AR 27–40, AR 40–66, AR 195–2, AR 360–1, and AR 600–85. Installation drug and alcohol offices
will be provided an extract of the RDF for offenses involving the use of alcohol or drugs (for example, drunk driving,
drunk and disorderly conduct, or a positive urinalysis).
b. Installation PMs and DESs are the release authorities for MP records under their control. They release criminal
record information to other activities as prescribed in AR 25–55, AR 340–21, and this regulation.
c. Authority to deny access to criminal records information rests with the initial denial authority for the FOIA and
the denial authority for Privacy Act cases, as addressed in AR 25–55 and AR 340–21.
3–4. Release of information under the Freedom of Information Act
a. The release and denial authorities for all FOIA requests concerning MP records include installation PMs, DESs,
and the Commander, USACIDC. Authority to act on behalf of the Commander, USACIDC is delegated to the Director,
USACRC.
b. FOIA requests from members of the press will be coordinated with the installation PAO prior to release of
records under the control of the installation PM or DES. When the record is on file at the USACRC, the request must
be forwarded to the Director, USACRC.
c. Requests will be processed as prescribed in AR 25–55 and as follows—
(1) The installation FOIA Office reviews requested reports to determine if any portion is exempt from release.
(2) Statutory and policy questions will be coordinated with the local SJA.
(3) Coordination will be completed with the local USACIDC activity to ensure that the release will not interfere
with a criminal investigation in progress or affect final disposition of an investigation.
(4) If it is determined that a portion of the report or the report in its entirety will not be released, the request to
include a copy of the LER or other MP records will be forwarded to the Director, USACRC (CICR–FP), 27130
26 AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
Telegraph Road, Quantico, VA 22134. The requestor will be informed that the request has been sent to the Director,
USACRC, and provided the mailing address for the USACRC. When forwarding FOIA requests, the outside of the
envelope must be clearly marked “FOIA REQUEST.”
(5) A partial release of information by an installation FOIA Office is permissible when it is acceptable to the
requester. (An example would be the redaction of a third party’s SSN, home address, and telephone number, as
permitted by law.) If the requester agrees to the redaction of exempt information, such cases do not constitute a denial.
If the requester insists on obtaining the entire report, then a copy of the report and the request for release will be
forwarded to the Director, USACRC. There is no requirement to coordinate such referrals at the installation level. The
request is simply forwarded to the Director, USACRC for action.
(6) Requests for MP records that have been forwarded to USACRC and are no longer on file at the installation
PMO or DES must be forwarded to the Director, USACRC for processing.
(7) Requests concerning USACIDC reports of investigation or USACIDC files will be referred to the Director,
USACRC. In each instance, the requestor will be informed of the referral and provided the address for the Director,
USACRC.
(8) Requests concerning records that are under the supervision of an Army activity, or other DOD agency, will be
referred to the appropriate agency for response.
3–5. Release of information under The Privacy Act of 1974
a. The MP records will be released according to provisions of The Privacy Act of 1974, as implemented by AR
340–21 and this regulation.
b. The release and denial authorities for all Privacy Act cases concerning MP records are provided in paragraph 3–3,
of this regulation.
c. Privacy Act requests for access to a record, when the requester is the subject of that record, will be processed as
prescribed in AR 340–21.
3–6. Amendment of records
a. Policy. An amendment of records is appropriate when such records are established as being inaccurate, irrelevant,
untimely, or incomplete. Amendment procedures are not intended to permit challenging an event that actually occurred.
Requests to amend reports will be granted only if the individual submits new, relevant and material facts that are
determined to warrant their inclusion in or revision of the police report. The burden of proof is on the individual to
substantiate the request. Requests to delete a person’s name from the title block will be granted only if it is determined
that there is not probable cause to believe that the individual committed the offense for which he or she is listed as a
subject. It is emphasized that the decision to list a person’s name in the title block of a police report is an investigative
determination that is independent of whether or not subsequent judicial, nonjudicial or administrative action is taken
against the individual. In compliance with DOD policy, an individual will still remain entered in the Defense Clearance
Investigations Index (DCII) to track all reports of investigation.
b. Procedures.
(1) Installation PMs or DESs will review amendment requests. Upon receipt of a request for an amendment of a MP
record that is 5 or fewer years old, the installation PM or DES will gather all relevant available records at the
installation. The installation PM or DES then reviews the request and either approves it or forwards it to the Director,
USACRC with a recommendation and rationale for denial. In accordance with AR 340–21, the Commanding General,
USACIDC is the sole access and amendment authority (AARA) for criminal investigation reports and LERs. Access
and amendment refusal authority is delegable, in writing, pursuant to 32 CFR 505.5(i)(2)(i), to a division chief in the
grade of GS-14/O5 or higher, under the supervision of the AARA. If the decision is made to amend an LER, a
supplemental LER is prepared. The supplemental LER will change information on the original LER and must be
mailed to the Director, USACRC with the amendment request from the requestor as an enclosure. The Director,
USACRC then files the supplemental LER with the original LER and notifies the requestor of the amendment of the
LER.
(2) Requests to amend MP documents that are older than 5 years will be coordinated through the Director,
USACRC. The installation PM or DES will provide the Director, USACRC a copy of an individual’s request to amend
a MP record on file at the USACRC. If the Director, USACRC receives an amendment request, the correspondence
with any documentation on file at the USACRC will be sent to the originating installation PMO or DES. The
installation PM or DES will review the request and either approve the request or forward it to the Director, USACRC
for denial. A copy of the installation PM or DES’s decision must be sent to the Director, USACRC to be filed in the
USACRC record. If an amendment request is granted, copies of the supplemental LER must be provided to each
organization, activity, or individual who received a copy of the original LER.
(3) If the installation PMO or DES no longer exists, the request will be staffed with the IMCOM region, ACOM,
ASCC, or DRU PMO or DES that had oversight responsibility for the installation PMO or DES at the time the LER
was originated.
27AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
3–7. Accounting for military police record disclosure
a. The AR 340–21 prescribes accounting policies and procedures concerning the disclosure of MP records.
b. The installation PMs and DESs will develop local procedures to ensure that disclosure of MP records as described
in AR 340–21 are available on request.
c. In every instance where records are disclosed, the individuals, agencies, or components are reminded that use or
further disclosure of any MP reports, military police investigator’s reports, or other information received must be in
compliance with DODI 5505.7, paragraph 6.5.2., which states that “judicial or adverse administrative actions shall not
be taken against individuals or entities based solely on the fact that they have been titled or indexed due to a criminal
investigation.”
3–8. Release of law enforcement information furnished by foreign governments or international
organizations
a. Information furnished by foreign governments or international organizations is subject to disclosure, unless
exempted by AR 25–55, AR 340–21, Federal statutes, or executive orders.
b. Release of U.S. information (classified military information or controlled unclassified information) to foreign
governments is accomplished in accordance with AR 380–10.
3–9. Release of domestic incidents reports to the Army Family Advocacy Program
a. Installation PMO or DES will comply with the reporting requirements in accordance with AR 608–18.
b. In addition to substantiated incidents of domestic violence, the installation PM or DES will notify the family
advocacy program manager and social work services of all incidents in which a preponderance of indicators reveal a
potential risk of reoccurrence and increasing severity of maltreatment, which could lead to domestic violence or child
abuse. Installation PMs and DESs will ensure these notifications are recorded in the official MP journal in DA Form
190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS. This is done to—
(1) Establish a history of incidents that indicate an emerging pattern of risk of maltreatment or victimization to
Soldiers and/or Family members. See AR 608–18 for incidents that indicate maltreatment.
(2) Develop a trend history of unsubstantiated or unresolved incidents, in order to prevent possible violence or
maltreatment from occurring.
Chapter 4
Offense Reporting
4–1. General
a. This chapter establishes policy for reporting founded criminal offenses investigated by Army installation offices;
any ACOM, ASCC, or DRU’s PM or DES offices; and the IMCOM.
b. This chapter prescribes reporting procedures, which require the use of DA Form 190–45–SG and a systems
administrator to ensure that the system is properly functioning. Reporting requirements include—
(1) Reporting individual offenders to the USACRC, NCIC, CJIS, and the DOD.
(2) Sending crime reports to the DOD. The DOD collects data from all the Services using the DIBRS. The Army
inputs its data into DIBRS, using DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS. Any data reported to DIBRS is only
as good as the data reported in DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, so the need for accuracy in reporting
incidents and using proper offense codes is critical. The DIBRS data from DOD is eventually sent to the DOJ’s
National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). The data is eventually incorporated within the uniform crime
report (UCR).
c. An installation PMO or DES initiating an LER or other Army LE investigation has reporting responsibility
explained throughout this regulation and will refer to AR 195–2 for a list of offense investigative responsibilities.
d. In the event the installation PMO or DES determines that his or her office does not have investigative
responsibility or authority, the LER will be terminated and the case cleared by exceptional clearance. A case cleared by
exceptional clearance is closed by the installation PMO or DES when no additional investigative activity will be
performed, or when the case is referred to another agency. If a case is transferred to the installation PMO or DES, from
another LE investigation agency, the gaining installation PMO or DES will have all reporting responsibility using the
DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS.
4–2. Law Enforcement Report
a. General use. The LER is used to—
(1) Record all information or complaints received or observed by the installation PMO or DES.
(2) Serve as a record of all installation PMO or DES activities.
(3) Document entries made into DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, and other automated systems.
28 AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
(4) Report information concerning investigations conducted by civilian LE agencies related to matters of concern to
the Army.
(5) Advise commanders and supervisors of offenses and incidents involving personnel or property associated with
their command or functional responsibility.
(6) Report information developed by commanders investigating incidents or conducting inspections that result in the
disclosure of evidence that a criminal offense has been committed.
b. Special use. The LER will be used to—
(1) Transmit a completed DA Form 3946 (Military Police Traffic Accident Report). This will include statements,
sketches, or photographs that are sent to a commander or other authorized official.
(2) Transmit the Central Violations Bureau (CVB) Form when required by local installation or U.S. Magistrate
Court policy. The LER is used to advise commanders or supervisors that military, civilian, or contract personnel have
been cited on a Central Violations Bureau Form.
(3) Match individual subjects with individual victims or witnesses and founded criminal offenses. This is a Federal
statutory requirement. This is done using the “relationships” tab within DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS.
(4) Document victim or witness liaison activity.
(5) Indicate confirmation of command notification, and medical and nonmedical notification, as applicable (such as
a physician, ASAP, (AFAP) (social services), a chaplain, local prosecutors, or LE), prior to release of subjects.
c. Distribution. The LER will be prepared in three copies, signed by the installation PMO, DES, or a designated
representative, and distributed as follows—
(1) Send the original to USACRC. Further information, arising or developed at a later time, will be forwarded to
USACRC using a supplemental LER. Reports submitted to USACRC will include a good, legible copy of all
statements, photographs, sketches, laboratory reports, and other information that substantiates the offense or improves
understanding of the report. The USACRC control number must be recorded on every LER sent to the USACRC. A
report will not be delayed for adjudication or commander’s action beyond 60 days.
(2) One copy is retained in the installation PMO or DES files.
(3) One copy is forwarded through the field grade commander to the immediate commander or supervisor of each
subject or organization involved in an offense.
d. Changing reports for unfounded offenses. If an offense is determined to be unfounded, after the case has been
forwarded to USACRC, the following actions will be completed—
(1) A supplemental LER, using the same LER number and USACRC control number, will be submitted stating the
facts of the subsequent investigation and that the case is unfounded.
(2) A copy of the supplemental LER will be provided to those agencies or activities that received a copy of the
completed LER at the time of submission to USACRC and to the commander for action.
e. “Redacted” copy. When sending the LER to outside agencies, generate or print a “redacted” LER from the
automated DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS.
4–3. Identifying criminal incidents and subjects of investigation
a. An incident will not be reported as a founded offense unless adequately substantiated by police investigation. A
person or entity will be reported as the subject of an offense on the LER when credible information exists that the
person or entity has committed a criminal offense. The decision to title a person is an operational, rather than a legal,
determination. The act of titling and indexing does not, in and of itself, connote any degree of guilt or innocence;
rather, it ensures that information in a report of investigation can be retrieved at some future time for LE and security
purposes. Judicial or adverse administrative actions will not be based solely on the listing of an individual or legal
entity as a subject on the LER.
b. The PMO, DES, and USACIDC offices must remind commanders that, in accordance with AR 600–8–2,
suspending favorable personnel actions is mandatory when an investigation (formal or informal) is initiated on a
Soldier by military or civilian authorities. In addition, commanders will report investigations to their security manager
to ensure reporting of derogatory incidents are sent to the DOD Consolidated Adjudication Facility via the Joint
Personnel Adjudication System, as outlined in AR 380–67.
c. An MP LER is reportable to the USACRC when a subject of an included offense is identified, the offense is
founded, and the offense is punishable by confinement of 6 months or more. Not all suspects for a particular offense
need be identified for that offense to be categorized as a founded offense. A subject can be a person, corporation, or
other legal entity about which credible information exists that would cause a trained investigator to presume that the
person, corporation, or other legal entity committed a criminal offense.
d. When investigative activity identifies a subject, all facts of the case must be considered. When a person,
corporation, or other legal entity is entered in the “subject” block of the LER, their identity is recorded in DA
automated systems and the DCII. Once entered into the DCII, the record can only be removed in cases of mistaken
identity or if an error was made in applying the credible information standard at the time of listing the entity as a
subject of the report. It is emphasized that the credible information error must occur at the time of listing the entity as
29AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
the subject of the LER rather than subsequent investigation determining that the LER is unfounded. This policy is
consistent with DOD reporting requirements. The Director, USACRC enters individuals from the LER into the DCII.
e. The USACRC control numbers are automatically assigned within the DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as
ALERTS. Once assigned, a USACRC number can only be deleted by the Crime Records Center. For MP units in
immature theaters (such as contingency operations, deployed environments, and so forth), the USACRC control
numbers will be manually assigned and made available by the USACRC until the DA Form 190–45–SG, also known
as ALERTS, becomes operational or USACRC control numbers are no longer required.
4–4. Offense codes
Each offense code describes, as nearly as possible, the complaint or offense by using an alphanumeric code. A chart
listing the offense codes that are authorized for use within the Army is available at appendix C. This list will be
amended from time to time, based on new reporting requirements mandated by legislation or administrative procedures.
The IMCOM, ACOM, ASCC, and DRU commanders, and the installation PMOs and DESs, will be notified by special
letters of instruction issued in numerical order from the OPMG when additions or deletions are made to the list. The
DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, will be used for all reporting requirements.
4–5. Military police codes
a. Military police codes (MPCs) identify individual PMOs and DESs. The Director, USACRC will assign MPCs to
PMOs and DESs.
b. Requests for assignment of a MPC will be included in the planning phase of military operations, exercises, or
missions when LE operations are anticipated. The request for a MPC will be submitted as soon as circumstances
permit, without jeopardizing the military operation to HQDA, OPMG. Consistent with security precautions, the
IMCOM, ACOM, ASCC, and DRU immediately informs HQDA, OPMG when assigned or attached MP units are
notified for deployment, mobilization, relocation, activation, or inactivation.
c. When an MP unit is alerted for deployment to a location not in an existing PMO or DES’s operational area, the
receiving combatant commander will request assignment of an MPC number from HQDA, OPMG providing the area
of operations does not have an existing MPC number. The receiving combatant commander is further responsible for
establishing an operational DA Form 190–45–SG system, also known as ALERTS, for the deployment.
4–6. Reserve component, U.S. Army Reserve, and Army National Guard personnel
a. When in a military duty status pursuant to official orders (Federal status for ARNG), Reserve and ARNG
personnel will be reported as active duty. Otherwise, they will be reported as Reserve and National Guard Soldiers.
b. The LER and DA Form 4833 will be forwarded directly to Commander, USAR (ARRC–JAM), 4710 Knox Street,
Building 8–1808, Fort Bragg, NC 28310–5010 for Reserve Soldiers. For ARNG Soldiers, a copy of the LER will be
sent to the Director, Army National Guard, 1411 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington VA 22202–3231.
4–7. DA Form 4833 (Commander’s Report of Disciplinary or Administrative Action)
a. Form use. The DA Form 4833 is used with the LER to—
(1) Record actions taken against identified offenders.
(2) Report the disposition of offenses investigated by civilian LE agencies.
b. Preparation by the installation PMO or DES office. The installation PMO or DES initiates this critical document
and is responsible for its distribution and for establishing a suspense system to ensure timely response by commanders.
Disposition reports are part of the reporting requirements within DA, DOD, and DOJ. The installation PM, DES, and
CID offices then send the DA Form 4833 to the subject’s unit commander for completion; they also copy furnish the
brigade judge advocate and the subject’s brigade commander.
c. Completion by the unit commander. Company, troop, and battery level commanders are responsible and accounta-
ble for completing DA Form 4833 with supporting documentation in all cases investigated by MP, civilian detectives
employed by the DA, and the installation PMO or DES. The battalion commander or the first lieutenant colonel in the
chain of command is responsible and accountable for completing DA Form 4833 with support documentation (copies
of investigations under UCMJ, Article 15; court-martial orders; reprimands; and so on) for all USACIDC investiga-
tions. The commander completes the DA Form 4833 within 60 days of receipt and returns it to the originating office
(the installation PMO, DES, or CID).
d. Appropriate blocks for completion. Commanders will complete the information in the appropriate blocks on the
DA Form 4833. The appropriate blocks or blanks will be completed as indicated below—
(1) Action taken (for example, judicial, nonjudicial, or administrative). In the event the commander takes action
against the Soldier for an offense other than the one listed on the LER, the revised charge or offense will be specified
in the “Remarks” section of the DA Form 4833.
(2) Sentence, punishment, or administrative action imposed.
(3) Should the commander take no action, the DA Form 4833 must be annotated to reflect that fact.
e. Extenuating circumstances. If extenuating circumstances prevent the commander from completing the DA Form
30 AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
4833 within 60 days of receipt, the brigade-level commander will notify the installation PMO or DES of the status and
request an extension. The installation PM or DES will notify the garrison commander and the senior commander of
delinquent DA Forms 4833 monthly.
(1) There is no requirement for the DA Form 4833 to be completed before the installation PMO or Directorate of
Emergency Services submits the completed LER to the USACRC. The DA Form 4833 is, however, desired when
submitting FBI Form FD 249 (CJIS Fingerprint Supply/Requisition Form) and/or FBI Form R–84 (Final Disposition
Report), to the USACRC.
(2) A delay will have an impact on other reporting requirements (for example, submitting fingerprint cards to the
FBI).
f. Procedures when subjects are reassigned. When the subject of an offense is reassigned, the installation PM or
DES will forward the LER, DA Form 4833, and all pertinent attachments to the gaining installation PM or DES, who
must ensure that the new commander completes the document. Copies of the documents will be made and retained by
the processing PM or DES before returning the documents to the losing installation PM or DES for completion of
automated entries and required reports.
g. Report on subjects assigned to other installations. When the LER involves a subject who is assigned to another
installation, the initiating installation PM or DES will forward the original and two copies of DA Form 4833 to the PM
or DES of the installation where the Soldier is permanently assigned.
h. Offenses not reportable to Army Crime Records Center. When the offense is not within a category reportable to
USACRC, the original DA Form 4833 is retained by the installation PM or DES.
i. Civilian court proceedings. If a Soldier is tried in a civilian court, and the installation PMO or DES is notified of
the charges, the installation PMO or DES will initiate an LER and forward the LER and related documents to the
installation SJA court liaison to track the disposition. The installation PMO or Directorate of Emergency Services will
coordinate with SJA and commanders for final disposition and report the disposition on DA Form 4833 as appropriate.
The installation PMO, DES, or other designated person will sign DA Form 4833 before forwarding it to USACRC.
j. Civilian subjects titled by Army law enforcement. The PMO, DES, and USACIDC offices will complete and
submit FBI Form R–84 (Final Disposition Report) to USACRC for civilian subjects, not subject to UCMJ, who are
titled by Army law enforcement. The PMO or DES and USACIDC will complete the DA Form 4833 and submit the
form to USACRC for these subjects. The PMO or DES and USACIDC law enforcement will not include these
completed DA Forms 4833 for civilian personnel in reporting compliance statistics for commanders. This ensures
records of disposition of civilian subjects titled by military LE are available in CJIS to support NCIC background
checks for firearms purchases, employment, security clearances, and so on.
k. Dissemination to other agencies. A copy of the completed DA Form 4833 reflecting offender disposition will also
be provided to those agencies or offices that originally received a copy of the LER when evidence is involved. The
evidence custodian will also be informed of the disposition of the case.
l. Review of offender disposition by the installation Provost Marshal Office or Directorate of Emergency Services.
Upon receipt of DA Form 4833 reflecting no action taken, the PM or DES will review the LER. The review will
include, but is not limited to the following—
(1) Determination of the adequacy of supporting documentation.
(2) Contact with subject’s commander to ensure all evidence presented is understood.
(3) Whether or not coordination with the supporting SJA should have been sought prior to dispatch of the report to
the commander for action.
(4) Identification of functions that warrant additional training of MP or security personnel (for example, search and
seizure, evidence handling, or rights warning).
m. Offender disposition summary reports. The installation PM or DES will provide the supported commander
(normally, the general courts-martial convening authority or other person designated by proper authority) summary data
of offender disposition as required or appropriate. Offender disposition summary data will reflect identified offenders
on whom final disposition has been reported. This data will be provided in the format and at the frequency specified by
the supported commander.
n. Reporting in the DA Form 190–45–SG (Army Law Enforcement Reporting and Tracking System (ALERTS)). An
offender’s disposition will be recorded in DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, on the DA Form 4833 that
was automatically generated in DA Form 190–45–SG from the LER.
o. Administrative closures. The installation PM or DES will consult with their servicing SJA to administratively
close cases older than 2 years where a commander cannot be identified. In these cases the installation PM or DES or
designee will sign in block 11 and in the name portion of block 11 will annotate “reporting.”
p. Commander self-initiated DA Form 4833. In accordance with DODI 7730.47 and DODM 7730.47-m, Vol.1,
commanders are also responsible for completing and submitting to installation PMOs or DESs the DA Form 4833.
Commanders must complete and submit DA Form 4833 for specified offenses per AR 195–2, appendix B, table B–1.
Commanders must refer to Army law enforcement (Military Police Investigation or CID) every credible allegation (that
is, supported by probable cause) that an assigned Soldier committed a crime that falls outside of the commander’s
investigative purview. If a commander initiates the DA Form 4833, the completed form will be forwarded to the
31AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
installation PMO or DES for input into DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS. The installation PMO or DES
will initiate an LER using the information on the DA Form 4833 in order to generate the DA Form 4833 in the
automated DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS.
(1) The commander will submit a self-initiated DA Form 4833 to their installation PMO/DES based on the
following criteria; the commander has completed their command investigation and determined to take action against the
offender. The commander will annotate the final disposition of the case on the DA Form 4833; the commander must
indicate on the DA Form 4833 the type of action taken (that is, judicial punishment, nonjudicial punishment,
administrative reprimand, administrative separation, counseling, and so on).
(2) Commander’s self-initiated DA Form 4833 reporting process overview:
(a) If a unit commander has conducted a criminal investigation about an incident not investigated by law enforce-
ment and meets the reporting requirements in AR 195–2, table B–1, the unit commander will access the DA Form
4833 on the Army Publishing Directorate’s forms Web site and complete the relevant fields. The unit commander will
email the completed and signed DA Form 4833 with the supporting documents (record of commander’s inquiry, Article
15, or court-martial paperwork, and so forth) to the supporting installation PMO/DES. For commands not on an
installation or commands on a Joint base, the supporting PMO/DES can be found in table 1–1 of this regulation.
(b) Installation PMO/DES will receive the DA Form 4833 from unit commanders and generate an LER from the DA
Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, using the information provided in the supporting documentation. The
appropriate offense code from appendix C–1 will be utilized. The first line of the narrative of the LER will state, “This
is being completed and reported based on an investigation conducted by the unit commander.” The PMO/DES will then
copy the information provided by the commander into the DA Form 4833, generated in the automated DA Form
190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, and close the LER.
4–8. Updating DA Form 190–45–SG (Army Law Enforcement Reporting and Tracking System
(ALERTS))
The installation PMs or DESs will establish standard operating procedures to ensure that all criminal activity is
reported in the electronic DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as the ALERTS database. Timely and accurate reporting
is critical. If a case remains open, changes will be made as appropriate. This includes reporting additional witnesses
and all aspects of the criminal report. These procedures will include but are not limited to user access, restricted or
suspended access when pending an investigation, periodic name checks as deemed necessary by the installation PM or
DES, training prior to be granted access and privileges into the automated DA Form 190–45–SG, proper use of the
form based upon job requirements, and actions upon misuse of the form.
4–9. FBI Form R–84 and final disposition report submission requirements
In general, this paragraph implements DODI 5505.11, which prescribes procedures for Army LE to report offender
criminal-history data, by submitting FBI Form FD 249 to USACRC. USACRC forwards this data to the CJIS division
of the FBI, for inclusion in the Next Generation Identification Database. This paragraph does not eliminate other
requirements to provide criminal-history data, including those concerning the DIBRS.
a. The installation PM or DES will submit offender criminal history data to USACRC, based on a probable cause
standard determined in conjunction with the servicing SJA or legal advisor for all—
(1) Members of the military Services investigated for offenses listed in table 4–1, by any Army LE organization.
(2) Civilians investigated for offenses equivalent to those listed in table 4–1. This includes foreign nationals, persons
serving with or accompanying an armed force in the field in time of declared war or contingency operations, and
persons subject to Public Law 106–523 in accordance with DODI 5525.11.
(3) Military Servicemembers, their dependents, DOD employees, and contractors investigated by foreign law en-
forcement organizations for offenses equivalent to those listed in DODI 5505.11 and made available to any Army LE
organization.
b. For purposes of this paragraph, commanders will notify their installation PMO or DES—
(1) When a military judicial proceeding is initiated or command action is taken in military nonjudicial proceedings
pursuant to UCMJ, Article 15 against a military subject investigated by an Army LE organization for an offense listed
in table 4–1. Offender criminal history data will not be reported in accordance with this paragraph unless the subject
has been investigated by an Army LE agency for an offense listed in table 4–1. For example, if a unit investigates an
alleged offense in table 4–1, and initiates a judicial and/or nonjudicial proceeding without an Army LE organization
having investigated the subject, then the reporting requirements of this paragraph do not apply.
(2) When they become aware that a non-DOD and/or foreign LE organization has initiated an investigation against a
Soldier, military dependent, or DOD civilian employee or contractor, for the equivalent of an offense listed in table
4–1, or punishable pursuant to the United States Code.
(3) Of the final disposition via DA Form 4833 of cases under the circumstances discussed in subparagraphs (1) and
(2), above.
c. These are the fingerprint and reporting procedures—
(1) Fingerprints and all information required on FBI Form FD 249 are obtained from military subjects under
32 AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
investigation by any Army LE organization for offenses listed in table 4–1. Fingerprints and additional required
information pertaining to civilian subjects are obtained for offenses punishable pursuant to the United States Code,
equivalent to those listed in table 4–1. Where required, a Privacy Act Statement is provided to each suspect whose
personal data is collected in accordance with DOD 5400.11–R.
(2) Offender criminal history data records required in accordance with this paragraph is initiated by preparing and
submitting an FBI Form FD 249 with the LER, to the Director, USACRC, CICR–CR, 27130 Telegraph Road,
Quantico, VA 22134. The Director, USACRC will forward the FBI Form FD 249 to CJIS. The USACRC is used as the
central repository for criminal history information in the Army. When required, Army LE organizations should submit
all completed FBI Forms R–84 directly to the CJIS Division, FBI per DODI 5505.11.
( 3 ) T h e o r i g i n a t i n g a g e n c y i d e n t i f i e r ( O R I ) i d e n t i f i c a t i o n n u m b e r u s e d o n t h e F B I F o r m F D 2 4 9 w i l l b e
VAUSA1400. Two FBI Forms FD 249 will be completed. One will be retained in the installation PMO or DES file.
The second will be sent to the Director, USACRC, and processed with the LER. A third set of prints will also be taken
on the FBI Form R–84. The FBI Form R–84 requires completion of the disposition portion and entering of the offenses
on which the commander took action.
(a) For military subjects (investigated by an Army LE organization), the FBI Form FD 249 is submitted when an
agent or LE official determines, following coordination with the servicing SJA or legal advisor if necessary (in no case
earlier than apprehension (military), arrest (civilian), or the subject interview), that probable cause exists to believe that
the person has committed an offense listed in table 4–1. If applicable, such coordination shall be documented in the
investigative file.
(b) If applicable, approval of a request for discharge, retirement, or resignation in lieu of court-martial, and/or a
finding of lack of mental competence to stand trial, is recorded as “final disposition” either on the FBI Form FD 249 or
FBI Form R–84.
(c) Within 15 calendar days after final disposition of military judicial or nonjudicial proceedings, or the approval of
a request for discharge, retirement, or resignation in lieu of court-martial, disposition information shall be reported by
Army LE organizations on the FBI Form FD 249, if it has not already been reported on an FBI Form FD 249. Do not
hold the FBI Form FD 249 or FBI Form R–84 pending appellate actions. Appellate action affecting the character of an
initial disposition must be reported if it occurs. Dispositions that are exculpatory in nature (for example, dismissal of
charges, acquittal) are also be documented on the FBI Form R–84.
(d) For civilian subjects (investigated by an Army LE organization)—
1. Submit an FBI Form FD 249 within 15 calendar days of the subject interview, arrest, indictment, or information,
as applicable, for offenses punishable pursuant to the U.S. Code that are equivalent to those listed in table 4–1.
2. Submit FBI Form R–84 within 15 calendar days after sentencing.
3. In cases investigated jointly with another law enforcement organization when that organization agrees to obtain
and forward fingerprints and criminal history data to the FBI, prepare a memorandum for the case file. The memoran-
dum shall identify each subject and the law enforcement organization collecting and forwarding the data. A current
memorandum of understanding at the organizational level, addressing the requirement to obtain fingerprints and
associated data and to forward said information to the FBI, will suffice in lieu of case-specific memorandums.
However, copies of the submitted data must be obtained for the case file.
d. Information requirements include the following—
(1) The FBI provides blank FBI Form FD 249 and/or FBI Form R–84, pre-addressed envelopes, and further
guidelines for submission of criminal history data. Installation PMs and DESs are authorized to requisition the
fingerprint cards by sending a request for supplies to: Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal Justice Information
Services Division, Logistical Support Unit, 1000 Custer Hollow Road Clarksburg, WV 26306
(2) Questions regarding supplies may be directed to the Logistical Support Unit at (304) 625–3983; orders may be
faxed to (304) 625–3984 or submitted electronically at http://www.fbi.gov/. All fingerprint-related questions should be
directed to USACRC prior to contacting the FBI.
(3) Investigators must ensure that the charges annotated on the FBI Form FD 249 reflect the actual charges being
pursued through court-martial or nonjudicial punishment. When submitting the FBI Forms FD 249 and FBI Form
R–84, charges must be described in commonly understood descriptive terms (for example, murder, rape, robbery,
assault, possession of a controlled substance) or by a commonly understood title. Offenses shall not be described solely
by references to a UCMJ punitive article or to the U.S. Code or other statutory provision.
(4) The disposition reflected on the FBI Form FD 249 or the FBI Form R–84 must also be described in common
language (for example, conviction (include offense(s)), dishonorable discharge, reduction in rank, forfeiture of pay,
charges dismissed). The disposition of “conviction” shall only be reported for crimes prosecuted by general or special
court-martial yielding a plea or a finding of guilty.
(a) Adverse findings resulting from a summary court-martial should be recorded as follows: “Subject found guilty
by summary court-martial.” Although action by summary courts-martial is disciplinary in nature for a violation of
military law, the Supreme Court has ruled that a summary court-martial is not a criminal proceeding in accordance
with U.S. Supreme Court Case Middendorf v. Henry, 425 U.S. 25 (1976).
33AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
(b) Adverse findings resulting from nonjudicial proceedings pursuant to UCMJ, Article 15 will be recorded as
“nonjudicial disciplinary action.” An adverse finding or punishment pursuant to UCMJ, Article 15 is a disciplinary
action, but does not constitute a criminal proceeding or conviction.

4–10. Procedures for reporting absence without leave, desertion, and special category absentee
offenses
a. Absent without leave reporting procedures.
(1) The commander will notify the installation PMO or DES of a Soldier’s reported absent without leave (AWOL).
(2) Upon receipt of an AWOL report, the installation PMO or DES will initiate an LER, and a corresponding
information blotter entry.
35AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
(3) The PM or DES will following the provisions of AR 190-9 when notification is received that an AWOL or
Deserter Soldier has returned to military control or upon apprehension by civilian authorities. The PM/DES will ensure
all LERs are updated to reflect the change in status and ensure the unit commander completes the DA Form 4833. If
the AWOL Soldier surrenders to the parent unit or is RMC at another installation, the provisions of AR 190–9 will be
followed.
b. Desertion reporting procedures.
(1) The commander will report and PMs and DESs will enter a warrant for, desertion for high-risk, a Soldier as a
deserter when they depart without authorization, and in the determination of the commander, depart without the intent
of returning. This action is also authorized for Soldiers who—without authority—fail to go to, or go from, their
appointed place of duty at the time prescribed, and absent themselves with the intent to permanently remain away from
their unit, organization, or place of duty; or are classified as a high-risk Soldier. Unit commanders will report the
desertion to the PM or DES, who will enter a warrant into NCIC. The issuing of a deserter warrant into NCIC
authorizes the Soldier’s apprehension or arrest by federal, state, and local law enforcement personnel throughout the
United States.
(a) For the purposes of this paragraph, a “high-risk Soldier” is defined in AR 190–9.
(b) When a deserter warrant is being issued based solely on the Soldier’s status as “high-risk,” the commander will
include a written basis (in block 19 of the DD Form 553) for his or her finding that the Soldier is “high-risk.” The
commander will send a copy of the warrant, on the day it is issued, to the installation SJA for review, to ensure there is
a legally justifiable basis for the finding of “high-risk.” If the SJA finds the warrant legally insufficient, the warrant
will be revoked.
(2) The unit commander must comply with the provisions of AR 630–10 when a Soldier is dropped from the rolls
and reported as a deserter.
(3) On receipt of the DD Form 553 (Deserter/Absentee Wanted by the Armed Forces), the installation PMO or DES
will—
(a) Initiate an LER and a blotter entry reflecting the Soldier’s status as “deserter.”
(b) Complete sections of the DD Form 553 concerning the Soldier’s driver’s license and vehicle information. In the
remarks section, add other information known about the Soldier such as: confirmed or suspected drug abuse; history of
escape(s) or attempted escape(s) from custody; suicidal tendencies or attempts; use of prescription or other medica-
tion(s); involvement in or charge(s) of crimes of violence for which an active military police investigation has been
prepared and forwarded; history of unauthorized absences; and any other useful or essential information for the
protection of the deserter or apprehending authorities.
(c) Assign the LER number and a USACRC control number, which will be assigned to the case and be included in
the remarks section of the DD Form 553.
(d) A copy of the DD Form 553 is sent to USADIP, and the original is sent to the unit commander within 24 hours
of receipt.
(4) Complete the special category absentee (SCA) reporting procedures, which are—
(a) Regardless the length of absence, the commander will immediately report a SCA Soldier as a deserter and within
48 hours, notify the installation PMO or DES in writing. Included in this category are defectors, absentee Soldiers who
travel to a country other than the one in which they are stationed, and cases in which there is evidence that the Soldier
may be involved with a foreign intelligence service or terrorist organization.
(b) The unit commander must comply with the provisions of AR 190–9 and AR 630–10 when reporting a SCA as a
deserter.
(c) Upon receipt of the DD Form 553 (Deserter/Absentee Wanted by the Armed Forces), the installation PMO or
DES must—
1. Follow desertion reporting procedures in AR 190–9 and AR 630–10.
2. Notify the local supporting counterintelligence office that a SCA has been reported and/or RMC.
3. Notify the Deputy Chief of Staff, G–2 when a defector is RMC.
4–11. Vehicle Registration System
The VRS is a module within COPS. Within VRS there are various tabs for registering vehicles that are authorized
access to an installation, to include personal data on the owner of the vehicle. There are also tabs for registering
weapons, bicycles, and pets. Information on individuals barred entry to an installation is also maintained within the
VRS.
4–12. Establishing memorandums of understanding
a. Coordination between military LE personnel and local civilian LE personnel is essential to improve information
sharing, especially concerning investigations, arrests, and prosecutions involving military personnel. The installation
PM or DES or other LE officials will establish formal memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with their civilian
counterparts to establish or improve the flow of information between their agencies, especially in instances involving
military personnel. The MOUs will be used to clarify jurisdictional issues for the investigation of incidents, to define
36 AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
the mechanism whereby local LE reports involving active-duty Servicemembers will be forwarded to the appropriate
installation LE office, to encourage the local LE agency to refer victims of domestic violence to the installation Family
Advocacy Office or victim advocate, and to foster cooperation and collaboration between the installation LE agency
and local civilian agencies.
b. Installation commanders are authorized, under Section 120(a) of the Water Resources Development Act of 1976,
to contract for local, State, or Federal LE services (enforcement of civil and criminal laws of the State) from civilian
police departments. Section 120(a) of the Water Resources Development Act of 1976 authorizes the Secretary of the
Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers, to contract with States and their political subdivisions for the purpose of
obtaining increased law enforcement services at water resource development projects under the jurisdiction of the
Secretary of the Army to meet needs during peak visitation periods.
c. The MOUs will address the following issues, at a minimum—
(1) A general statement of the purpose of the MOU.
(2) An explanation of jurisdictional issues that affect respective responsibilities to—and investigating incidents
occurring on and off—the installation. This section should also address jurisdictional issues when a civilian order of
protection is violated on military property (see 10 USC 1561a).
(3) Procedures for responding to incidents that occur on the installation involving a civilian alleged offender.
(4) Procedures for local LE to immediately (within 4 hours) notify the installation LE office of incidents and
investigations involving Servicemembers.
(5) Procedures for transmitting incident and investigation reports and other LE information involving active-duty
Servicemembers from local civilian LE agencies to the installation LE office.
(6) Notification of when a Soldier is required to register as a sex offender either through military judicial proceed-
ings or civilian judicial proceedings.
(7) Procedures for transmitting civilian protection orders (CPOs) issued by civilian courts or magistrates involving
active-duty Servicemembers from local LE agencies to the installation LE office.
(8) Designation of the title of the installation LE recipient of such information from the local LE agency.
(9) Procedures for transmitting the DD Form 2873 (Military Protective Order) from the installation LE office to the
local civilian LE agency with jurisdiction over the area in which the Service member resides.
(10) Designation of the title of the local LE agency recipient of domestic violence and CPO information from the
installation LE agency.
(11) Respective responsibilities for providing information to victims regarding installation resources when either the
victim or the alleged offender is an active duty Service member.
(12) Sharing of information and facilities during the course of an investigation in accordance with 5 USC 552a(b)(7)
(The Privacy Act of 1974).
(13) Regular meetings between the local civilian LE agency and the installation LE office to review cases and MOU
procedures.
4–13. Lost, abandoned, or unclaimed property
Personal property that comes into the possession, custody, or control of the Army and is unclaimed by the owner is
considered to be abandoned only after diligent effort has been made to determine and locate its owner, the heir, next of
kin, or legal representative. A Soldier who has permanent change of station orders and is unable to dispose of his or
her personal property should immediately notify the chain of command. The commander will appoint a board to rule
on the disposition of the property. If a LE agency takes custody of the property it will be tagged and a record made as
shown in paragraph a, below. A report will be made to the installation commander who will take action in accordance
with DOD 4160.21–M, chapter 4, paragraph 40. Pending board action under DOD 4160.21–M, the LE agency having
physical custody is responsible for the safekeeping of seized property. The following procedures should be used:
a. Property will be tagged using DA Form 4002 (Evidence/Property Tag) or clearly identified by other means,
inventoried, and made a matter of record. These records are kept by the custodian of the property.
b. Lost, abandoned, or unclaimed property will be kept in a room or container separate from one used to store
property held as evidence. Records or logs of property not held as evidence will be separated from those pertaining to
evidence. However, all property will be tagged, accounted for, and receipted for in a similar manner as evidence.
c. Property that has been properly identified through board action under DOD 4160.21–M as having an owner will
be segregated and tagged with the name of that person.
d. Unclaimed or forfeited property in the custody of the Army will be disposed of by order of any court of record
that has territorial jurisdiction over the Army installation.
e. A letter will be sent to the owner of the property on the disposition of the property and a memorandum be written
indicating that attempts were made to contact the owner of the property which met with negative results and kept on
file.
f. In all cases, a receipt should be obtained at time of release or disposition.
37AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
4–14. Procedures for restricted and unrestricted reporting in sexual assault cases
Active-duty Soldiers, ARNG, and USAR Soldiers who are subject to military jurisdiction under the UCMJ can elect
either restricted or unrestricted reporting if they are victims of sexual assault. See AR 600–20 for further details.
a. Unrestricted reporting requires normal LE reporting and investigative procedures.
b. Restricted reporting requires that LE and criminal investigative organizations not be informed of a victim’s
identity and not initiate investigative procedures. The victim may provide sexual assault response coordinators
(SARCs), medical treatment facility (MTF) personnel, victim advocates, and Sexual Harassment/Assault Response &
Prevention Program proponents with specific items (clothing, bedding, and so on) that may later be used as evidence,
should they decide later to convert to an unrestricted report. (SARCs and MTF personnel are neither required nor
encouraged to collect evidence; however, circumstances may occur where evidence comes into their possession.) In
sexual assault cases additional forensic evidence may be collected using the “sexual assault evidence collection kit,”
(hereafter, “evidence kit”). Personnel from the MTF or SARC releasing evidence to the installation PMO or DES will
comply with AR 195–5. The SARC or MTF will have only temporary possession of the evidence and must immedi-
ately notify the installation PMO or DES to transfer custody of evidence. The evidence kit, other items such as clothing
or bedding sheets, and any other articles provided by the MTF or SARC will be stored in the installation PMO or DES
evidence room separate from other evidence and property. The evidence kit, the other items such as clothing or
bedding sheets, and any other items will be properly sealed and marked with the restricted reporting control number
that is issued by the SARC. Procedures for handling evidence specified in AR 195–5 will be strictly followed.
c. The installation PMO or DES will complete an RDF, in the automated DA Form 190-45-SG, also known as
ALERTS, for restricted reporting. Reports will be completed using the offense code from the “6Z” series. An entry will
be made in the journal when the sexual assault evidence kit or property (clothing, bedding, and so forth) is received.
An entry will not be made in the blotter. Restricted reporting incidents are not reportable as SIRs. Property will be
stored for 5 years and then scheduled for destruction, unless previously released to investigative authorities. Thirty days
prior to destruction of the property, a letter will be sent to the SARC by the installation PMO or DES, advising the
SARC that the property will be destroyed in 30 days, unless LE personnel are notified by the SARC that the victim has
elected unrestricted reporting. If the SARC notifies the installation PM or DES that the victim has not elected
unrestricted reporting, clothing, or other personal effects will be released to the SARC for return to the victim. The
information report will be updated when the evidence is destroyed, returned to the SARC, or released to investigative
authorities.
d. In the event that information about a sexual assault that was made under restricted reporting is disclosed to the
commander from a source independent of the restricted reporting avenues, or to LE from other sources, the commander
will report the matter to LE. In this situation, LE remains authorized to initiate its own independent investigation of the
matter presented. Additionally, a victim’s disclosure of his or her sexual assault to persons outside the protective sphere
of those covered by the restricted reporting policy will result in an investigation of the allegations.
4–15. Procedures for restricted and unrestricted reporting in domestic violence cases
Restricted reporting is a reporting option for adult victims of domestic abuse. For the purposes of this paragraph,
restricted reporting is defined as allowing a victim of domestic abuse, who is eligible to receive military medical
treatment, including civilians and contractors who are eligible to receive military healthcare OCONUS on a reimbursa-
ble basis, the option of reporting an incident of domestic abuse to specified individuals without initiating the
investigative process or notification to the victims or the alleged offender’s commander. For the purposes of this
paragraph, an adult is a Soldier or a person who is not a Soldier who has either attained the age of 18 years of age or is
married.
a. Unrestricted reporting requires normal LE reporting and investigative procedures.
b. Restricted reporting requires that LE and criminal investigative organizations not be informed of a victim’s
identity and not initiate investigative procedures. The victim will provide the victim advocate or MTF personnel with
specific items that will be later used as evidence, should they decide to later report the incident to LE. Victim
advocates and MTF personnel are neither required nor encouraged to collect evidence; however, circumstances will
occur where evidence comes into their possession. Victim advocates and MTF personnel will have only temporary
possession of the evidence and must immediately notify the installation PMO or DES to transfer custody of evidence.
These items will be stored in the installation PMO or DES’s evidence room separate from other evidence and property.
Procedures for handling evidence specified in AR 195–5 will be strictly followed.
c. The installation PMO or DES will complete an RDF in DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, for
domestic violence restricted reporting. Reports will be completed using the offense code from the “9U” series. An
entry will be made in the journal when the property is received. An entry will not be made in the blotter. Restricted
reporting incidents are not reportable as SIRs. Property will be stored for 1 year and then scheduled for destruction,
unless previously released to investigative authorities. Thirty days prior to destruction of the property, a letter will be
sent to the family advocacy program manager and the victim advocate by the installation PMO or DES, advising the
victim advocate that the property will be destroyed in 30 days, unless LE personnel are notified by the victim advocate
that the victim has elected unrestricted reporting. The information report will be updated when the evidence is
destroyed or released to investigative authorities.
38 AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
d. A victim’s disclosure of his or her domestic violence incident to persons outside the protective sphere could result
in an investigation of the allegations.
4–16. Domestic violence
a. Responding to incidents of domestic violence requires a coordinated effort by LE, medical, and social work
personnel, to include sharing information and records as permitted by law and regulation. AR 608–18 contains
additional information about domestic violence and protective orders. AR 608–18’s glossary refers to domestic
violence as including the use, attempted use, or threatened use of force or violence against a person or a violation of a
lawful order issued for the protection of a person, who is (a) a current or former spouse; (b) a person with whom the
abuser shares a child in common; or (c) a current or former intimate partner with whom the abuser shares or has shared
a common domicile.”
b. All domestic violence incidents will be reported to the local installation PMO or DES. All reported domestic
violence incidents will be entered into MPRS, using the LER. These codes will be used in addition to any other offense
code that is appropriate for an incident. For example, a Soldier strikes his or her spouse. When entering the offense
data into DA Form 190-45-SG, also known as ALERTS, both the offense code for assault (that is, 5C2) and the offense
code for spouse abuse (from the 9UI series) will be entered.
4–17. Protection orders
a. Documentation. A DD Form 2873 (Military Protective Order) is a written lawful order issued by a commander
that orders a Soldier to avoid contact with those persons identified in the order. DD Forms 2873 may be used to
facilitate a “cooling-off” period following domestic violence and sexual assault incidents, to include incidents involving
children. The commander should provide a written copy of the order within 24 hours of its issuance to the person with
whom the member is ordered not to have contact and the installation LE activity. A reply by endorsement can be
completed for the pertaining LER, indicating that a DD Form 2873 has been issued. Violations of a DD Form 2873
must be reported on the LER and entered into DA Form 190-45-SG, also known as ALERTS. All protective orders
will be entered into DA Form 190-45-SG, also known as ALERTS, and the NCIC system. Violations of a DD Form
2873 likely constitute violations of Article 90 or 92, UCMJ.
(1) Initial notification. In the event a DD Form 2873 is issued against a Soldier and any individual involved in the
order does not reside on an Army installation at any time during the duration of the DD Form 2873, the installation
PMO or DES will notify the appropriate civilian authorities (local magistrate courts, family courts, and local police)
of—
(a) The issuance of the protective order.
(b) The individuals involved in the order.
(c) Any change made in a protective order.
(d) The termination of the protective order.
(2) Civilian-authority notification. The installation PMO or DES will notify the appropriate civilian authorities (local
magistrate courts, family courts, and local police) of the protective order. The installation PMOs and DESs will place
the DD Forms 2873 in the NCIC Protective Order File, along with civilian protective orders. This provides the
electronic means for military commanders to make information on the issuance of a DD Form 2873 available to all
civilian law enforcement authorities.
(a) The DES or PMO will place the active DD Form 2873 in NCIC for the duration of the order. The DES or PMO
will initiate an LER for the DD Form 2873, creating the required originating agency case number, and place the DD
Form 2873 in the NCIC POF, using “Protection Order Conditions Field Code 08” with the following mandatory caveat
in the miscellaneous field: "This is a Military Protective Order and may not be enforceable by non-military authorities.
If subject is in possible violation of the order, advise the entering agency (Military Law Enforcement).”
(b) Updating and termination of a DD Form 2873 in NCIC will follow normal NCIC operational procedures.
Installation law enforcement will further notify surrounding civilian law enforcement jurisdictions of the DD Form
2873 submission via an NCIC administrative message.
b. Compliance. A CPO is an order issued by a judge, magistrate or other authorized civilian official, ordering an
individual to avoid contact with his or her spouse or children. Pursuant to Section 1561a, Title 10, United States Code
(The Armed Forces Domestic Security Act) a CPO has the same force and effect on a military installation as such
order has within the jurisdiction of the court that issued the order. LE personnel will complete an LER, in DA Form
190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, whenever a CPO is issued that orders a Soldier to avoid contact with his or her
spouse or children or orders an individual to avoid contact with his or her military spouse or Family members.
Violations of a CPO must be reported on the LER and entered into DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS.
4–18. Defense Incident-Based Reporting System/National Incident-Based Reporting System reporting
responsibilities
a. Reporting processes involve several databases that rely on shared information.
39AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
(1) DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, consolidates and forwards monthly DIBRS reports to Defense
Manpower Data Center.
(2) The DIBRS reporting process will be triggered when law enforcement officials respond to a founded offense of
a criminal incident. The LE officials will collect information necessary to fulfill reporting responsibilities by filling out
the LER. The installation PMO or DES must ensure cases in DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, are
changed from “open” or “final” status to “closed” to ensure that the LER is reported to DIBRS. If the crime is
determined to be outside the jurisdiction of the LE organization, the DIBRS reporting responsibility will be passed to
the appropriate agency, such as USACIDC, the FBI, or the local authority that has accepted investigative jurisdiction of
the case.
b. If the investigation is initiated by or referred to USACIDC and USACIDC assumes the lead investigative role, it
also assumes DIBRS reporting responsibility.
c. Army LE agencies will normally refer cases involving military offenders to the responsible commander for
appropriate action. The responsible LE agency will initiate the LER. The commander may refer the case to staff
agencies, dispose of the case pursuant to administrative or nonjudicial authority, or refer the case to court-martial or to
an appropriate convening authority for ultimate disposition. The commander taking final action on the case will
forward the DA Form 4833 to the local installation PMO or DES. If the case is forwarded to another convening
authority for action, the commander assuming jurisdiction over the case is responsible for forwarding the DA Form
4833 to the local installation PMO or DES.
d. In some instances, commanders will be required to initiate DIBRS reporting when a military law enforcement
activity is not involved. Commanders will ensure that reporting responsibilities and requirements as prescribed in this
policy are met in these cases, and a DA Form 4833 is submitted to the local installation PMO or DES.
e. SJAs will forward all supporting judicial documents to the commander. The commander will attach the DA Form
4833 and send to the local installation PMO or DES within the prescribed 60 days.
f. Regarding reporting requirements, an incident that is listed in table 4–1 will be reported on an LER or ROI if
initiated by LE. If a commander initiates reporting an incident, it will be documented and submitted on a DA Form
4833 with supporting documents (UCMJ, Article 15 court reports) and submitted to the installation PM or DES.
Reportable incidents include:
(1) Criminal incidents not listed in table 4–1, but punishable under the UCMJ. This includes incidents such as
fraternization, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape.
(2) Civilian criminal incidents committed by military personnel on active duty resulting in a felony conviction, as
defined in the civilian jurisdiction where the offense is tried.
g. Other reportable incidents include:
(1) Sudden infant death syndrome when the victim is a dependent residing with an active-duty Servicemember.
(2) Incidents involving the actual or attempted suicide of military personnel on active duty.
(3) Other incidents requiring action under 18 USC 922 (The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993,
Revised Statute).
(4) Incidents covered by Public Law No. 97–291, Volume 96, US Statute at Large 1248 (Victim and Witness
Protection Act of 1982) codified as amended in scattered sections of 18 USC and the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure 32(c)(2). Army LE authorities must advise the victim or witness of their rights using the DD Form 2701
(Initial Information for Victims and Witnesses of Crime) in accordance with chapter 6 of this regulation. Victim-
witness notifications will be reported on the LER to provide accountability in the automated DA Form 190–45–SG,
also known as ALERTS.
(5) Commanders and family-advocacy programs will report all domestic violence incidents to the local installation
PMO, DES, or CID office which includes:
(a) Incidents that involve evidence determined sufficient for supporting disciplinary action and, for each such
incident, a description of the allegations and the action taken by command authorities in the incident.
(b) Incidents that involve evidence determined insufficient for supporting disciplinary action and, for each such case,
a description of the allegation.
Chapter 5
Army Law Enforcement Trends and Analysis Report
5–1. General
a. This chapter prescribes policies and procedures for the coordination and standardization of crime statistics
reporting with HQDA. Crime statistical reports and trends provided to HQDA and other agencies and those related to
special interests inquiries, the media, and the public must reflect uniformity in terminology, methods of presentation,
and statistical portrayal to preclude misinterpretation of information.
b. Any report containing Armywide aggregate crime data or statistics addressed to the Secretary of the Army, Chief
40 AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
of Staff of the Army, or Vice Chief of Staff of the Army will be coordinated and cleared with HQDA, OPMG
(DAPM–MPO–LE). Correspondence and reports will be coordinated with HQDA, OPMG (DAPM–MPO–LE) prior to
release to any agency, activity, or individual.
c. HQDA staff agencies and ACOMs, ASCCs, and DRUs authorized by regulation or statute to conduct independent
i n v e s t i g a t i o n s , a u d i t s , a n a l y s e s , o r i n q u i r i e s n e e d n o t c o o r d i n a t e r e p o r t e d i n f o r m a t i o n w i t h H Q D A , O P M G
(DAPM–MPO–LE) unless the information contains crime data for the Army as a whole. For example, reports
submitted by USACIDC containing only USACIDC investigative data need not be coordinated with HQDA, OPMG
(DAPM–MPO–LE).
5–2. Crime rate reporting
a. The USACIDC, Command Intelligence Operation Center (CIOC) develops criminal intelligence through the
collection of raw criminal information and the centralized analysis of crime cases and other related data. The
USACIDC analyzes and identifies modus operandi, trends, and vulnerabilities, and disseminates this information to
DOD, Army LE and investigative agencies.
b. The CIOC criminal intelligence (CRIMINTEL) analyst provides in-depth analysis addressing current and future
criminal trends and force-protection threats affecting Army installations worldwide. Army aggregate crime reports
include data accessible through DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, and other available DOD databases.
Chapter 6
Victim and Witness Assistance Procedures

investigated by, Army LE.
(3) Foreign nationals employed or visiting on an Army installation OCONUS.
b. Installation PM or DES personnel should refer to AR 27–10 for additional policy guidance on the Army Victim/
Witness Program.
6–2. Procedures
a. As required by DODD 1030.1, Army personnel involved in the detection, investigation, and prosecution of crimes
must ensure that victim and witness rights are protected. Victims’ rights include—
(1) The right to be treated with fairness, dignity, and a respect for privacy.
(2) The right to be reasonably protected from the accused offender.
(3) The right to be notified of court proceedings.
(4) The right to be present at all public court proceedings related to the offense, unless the court determines that
testimony by the victim would be materially affected if the victim heard other testimony at trial, or for other good
cause.
(5) The right to confer with the attorney for the Government in the case.
(6) The right to restitution, if appropriate.
(7) The right to information regarding conviction, sentencing, imprisonment, and release of the offender from
custody.
b. In keeping with the requirements listed above, the installation PM or DES must ensure that—
(1) All LE personnel are provided copies of DD Form 2701 (Initial Information for Victims and Witnesses of
Crime).
(2) A victim and witness coordinator is appointed in writing.
(3) Statistics are collected and reported into DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS.
(4) Coordination with the installation SJA victim/witness coordinator occurs to ensure that individuals are properly
referred for information on restitution, administrative, and judicial proceedings.
(5) Coordination with installation Family Advocacy Program’s victim advocate occurs to support victims of domes-
tic abuse. Victim advocacy services include crisis intervention, assistance in securing medical treatment for injuries,
information on legal rights and proceedings, and referral to military and civilian shelters and other resources available
to victims.
41AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
6–3. Notification

(2) Social services, when necessary.
(3) Procedures to contact the SJA victim/witness liaison office for additional assistance.
b. Investigating LE personnel, such as Army LE investigators will—
(1) Ensure that victims and witnesses have been offered a DD Form 2701. If not, investigating personnel will give
the individual a copy.
(2) Provide status on investigation of the crime to the extent that releasing such information does not jeopardize the
investigation in coordination with the installation PM or DES victim and witness coordinator.
(3) Inform all victims and witnesses of the apprehension of a suspected offender, if requested.
6–4. Statistical reporting requirements
a. The DOD policies on victim and witness assistance require reporting of statistics on the number of individuals
who are notified of their rights. The LER provides for the collection of statistical information.
b. The DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, supports automated reporting of statistics. HQDA PMG
(DAPM–MPO–LE), as the program manager, will require periodic reports to meet unique requests for information.
c. It is possible that a victim or witness will initially decline a DD Form 2701. As the case progresses, the individual
will request information. If a case is still open, the PM or DES victim and witness coordinator will provide the DD
Form 2701 (Initial Information for Victims and Witnesses of Crime) to the individual and update the records. Once the
case is referred to the SJA, or LE activity ceases, DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, will not be updated
without prior coordination with the installation SJA Office.

provides a chronological record output suitable for electronic transmission or print on plain paper when needed. All
installations are required to use DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS, to generate the blotter report. This is
the only authorized form used to record LE activities.
b. Special instructions.
(1) Entries will not include the names of juvenile subjects, their parents, guardians, or sponsors. Entries will not list
the name of any victim of sensitive incidents (for example, rape). When legitimate LE requirements are met, the term
“protected identity” (PI) will be entered where the name, SSN, and address are normally listed.
(2) The term “Restricted Entry” will replace the entire blotter entry for cases in which information concerning the
matter should be controlled. Examples of restricted cases include all types of sex-related offenses and other cases
deemed appropriate by local policy. Use of restricted entry is authorized to protect information related to on-going
police investigations, when publication could adversely impact the investigation or endanger the lives of LE personnel
or informants. The responsibility to provide timely and accurate information to commanders, the chain of command,
and HQDA will be considered when entering names of subjects.
(3) The first page of the complete blotter and all extracts will include the following statement: “This blotter (or
blotter extract) is a daily chronological record of police activity developed from reports, complaints, incidents, or
information received, and actions resulting therefrom. Entries contained in the blotter will not be completely accurate
and are not adjudications attesting to the guilt or innocence of any person.” Blotters will be stamped “FOUO.” Separate
blotter pages or attachments containing protected identity entries will be filed with juvenile records.
c. Distribution. A complete blotter will generally be provided to the senior supported commander, SJA, and

for the purpose of submitting derogatory information reports to the Central Clearance Facility. Distribution of redacted
blotter entries should be limited to commanders or civilian supervisors of personnel who are the subjects or victims of
a crime or accident. Supported commanders will also direct distribution of extracts to staff activities with responsibility
for direct support to personnel involved in specified categories of crime or incidents. Examples would be distribution of
traffic accident information to the safety officer; distribution of domestic violence reports to the social work services
counselor; or alcohol related crimes to the ASAP manager.

Chapter 8
Reportable Serious Incidents
8–1. Policy
a. Reports submitted according to this regulation are LE reports in accordance with AR 25–55. Incidents listed in
paragraphs 8–2 and 8–3 of this regulation, are reportable to HQDA through PM or DES channels as category 1 and 2
serious incidents, respectively. The lists are not all inclusive. Commanders should report any incident that might
concern HQDA as a serious incident, regardless of whether it is specifically listed in paragraphs 8–2 and 8–3. In cases
of doubt, report the incident. In determining whether an incident is of concern to HQDA, the following factors should
be considered:
(1) Severity of the incident.
(2) Potential for adverse publicity.
(3) Potential consequences of the incident.
(4) Whether or not the incident is reportable under other reporting systems.
(5) Effect of the incident on readiness or the perception of readiness.
b. Submission of an SIR will not be delayed due to incomplete information. All pertinent information known at the
time of SIR submission will be included. Additional required information will be provided in a subsequent add-on
report.
c. Commands that do not have an installation PM or DES will ensure that SIRs are reported to the installation PMO
or DES that has geographical LE responsibility for that particular area (see table 1–1 of this regulation). The
installation PM or DES will be responsible for initial and follow-on SIR and for the initiation of the LER, for
reportable offenses. ACOMs that have off-post activities or facilities are required to immediately notify their installa-
tion PM or DES with geographic responsibility for the area of any SIR qualifying events that occur at the activity or
facility. The installation PM or DES will be responsible for initial and follow-on SIR reporting.
d. Incidents listed in paragraphs 8–2 and 8–3, occurring on Army installations and facilities are clearly reportable.
Commanders should consider the degree of Army interest and involvement in deciding to report incidents occurring off
the installation. Any incident where a Soldier is the subject or victim of a serious incident is reportable no matter where
it occurs. An incident involving a command-sponsored Family member or DA civilian employee OCONUS is also
reportable. Incidents where a Family member, or DA civilian employee, is the subject or victim of a similar incident
off post in the United States is not reportable, absent other connections to the Army.
e. On occasion, HQDA, OPMG will direct reporting of incidents or crimes that are not normally reportable. In these
instances, the commanders of IMCOM regions, ACOMs, ASCCs, DRUs, and installations will be notified by message
of specific requirements and time periods for reporting.
f. All SIRs in which a Soldier is listed as a subject will state whether the Soldier has deployed within the past year.
g. The Army’s policy regarding the release of protected health information to LE officials for LE purposes mirrors
the policy found in DOD 6025.18–R, paragraph C7.6.
h. In addition to SIR reporting, the incidents described below in paragraphs 8–2c and d, and any other matters of CI
interest as specified in AR 381–12, will be reported to the nearest Army CI office.
i. Commanders and directors of biological select agents and toxins (BSAT) facilities will report as a category 1 SIR,
an actual or alleged BSAT incident. The category 1 SIR will be reported by telephone to the Army Watch (DSN
225–4695/96) immediately upon discovery or notification at the installation level. The telephonic report will be
followed by a written report, preferably by electronic mail to the ArmyWatch at: usarmy.pentagon-e.hqda.mbx.
[email protected] within 12 hours of discovery or notification.
8–2. Category 1 reportable serious incidents
These are actual or alleged incidents involving the following:
a. On- and off-post riots, serious disturbances, or demonstrations targeted against the Army or involving Army
personnel.
b. War crimes, including mistreatment of enemy prisoners of war, detainees, displaced persons, retained persons, or
civilian internees; violations of the Geneva Conventions; and atrocities.
c. Requests by members of the Army for political asylum in foreign countries or indications of defection.
d. Terrorist activities, sabotage, and incidents, initiated or sponsored by known terrorists, dissident groups, or
criminal elements that occur on an installation or that involve military personnel or property off an installation.
e. Bomb or explosive incidents resulting in death, injury of military personnel, or damage to military property.
f. Incidents involving material damage that seriously degrade unit operational or training readiness.

8–4. Category 3 reporting criteria
IMCOM regional directors, and ACOM, ASCC, and DRU commanders (excluding USACIDC) will, by approved
supplementation to this regulation, establish additional reporting criteria to be known as “category 3.” Means and
format for reporting will be as prescribed by the IMCOM regions, ACOM, ASCC, and DRU commanders, with the
requirement that numbering sequences for category 3 reports will be separate from those used for reports to HQDA.
8–5. Operational reporting reports
a. Commanders will use the operational reporting–3 (OPREP–3) format when reporting incidents meeting Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) reporting criteria, outlined in CJCSM 3150.03D.
b. Commanders are responsible for timely and accurate reporting of all events or incidents meeting CJCS reporting
criteria, as outlined in CJCSM 3150.03D. The requirements of this paragraph are for OPREP–3 pinnacle (OPREP–3P)
reports and will follow the guidance of CJCSM 3150.03D, Enclosure A, Appendix A. The following criteria may also
be considered for incidents potentially requiring one of the other OPREP–3 reports (non-pinnacle):
(1) Generates a higher level of military action.
(2) Causes a national reaction.
(3) Affects international relations.
(4) Causes immediate widespread coverage in news media.
(5) Is clearly against national interest.
(6) Affects current national policy.
c. If in doubt whether an incident meets the above-listed criteria, submit an OPREP–3 report, and the receiving
agency will make the determination on further actions to take.
d. Should an incident be both OPREP–3 and SIR reportable, the OPREP–3 report will include basic information,
ensuring it does not divulge information that may hinder an ongoing investigation. The SIR contains detailed
information and will be protected from widespread or improper release and classified as a “law enforcement sensitive/
FOUO” report.
e. Commanders submit OPREP–3 reports through their own chain of command to HQDA Army Operations Center
per the existing reporting requirements. If the chain of command does not include an ASCC, the senior commander
will simultaneously submit the OPREP–3 to their chain of command, HQDA, and the ASCC assigned responsibility for
the geographic combatant command. Each ASCC is responsible for forwarding the OPREP–3 to their respective
geographical combatant commander and to the HQDA Army Operations Center for the SA.
8–6. Incidents reportable by means other than serious-incident reports
The events or incidents listed below may be reported by means other than SIRs.
a. Those operational events reported according to Joint Chiefs of Staff Publication 6–0.
b. Aircraft accidents and related mishaps, unless they meet other SIR criteria.
c. Nuclear weapons accidents or incidents.
d. Nuclear reactor mishaps.
e. Incidents involving foreign students.
f. Requests from civil authorities for military support of civil disturbances or counter-terrorist operations.
g. Incidents involving national security crimes and deliberate security compromises will be reported to the nearest
Army CI office as required by AR 381–12.
h. Incidents covered under Executive Order 12333, as implemented by DOD 5240.1–R.I.
8–7. Suspicious activity report
The Army will use eGuardian to report, share and analyze unclassified suspicious activity information regarding
potential threats or suspicious activities affecting DOD personnel, facilities, or forces in transit in both CONUS and
OCONUS. USACIDC is the Army’s eGuardian program manager.
a. eGuardian is the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) sensitive-but-unclassified web-based platform for
reporting, and in some instances, sharing, suspicious activity and threat related information with other federal, state,
tribal, and territorial law enforcement and force protection entities. Information entered into eGuardian by the Army
49AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
may be either shared with all eGuardian participants or reported directly to the FBI. All information entered into
eGuardian by the Army will comply with the policy framework for the system and any existing agency agreements,
which incorporate privacy protections.Analysis of SARs will assist CRIMINTEL analysts and commanders in mitigat-
ing potential threats and vulnerabilities, and developing annual threat assessments.
b. eGuardian user, supervisor, approver, or read-only access is limited to LE personnel and LE CRIMINTEL
analysts, to include those assigned to the U.S. Army counterintelligence law enforcement cell and the HQDA
antiterrorism operations and intelligence cell. The following definitions apply for eGuardian access:
(1) LE personnel and LE CRIMINTEL analysts are assigned, attached or detailed to LE activities, validated (in
writing) to support LE missions.
(2) DOD contractors who, on behalf of the Army are involved in the SAR process, to include operating a system of
records, and any of the activities associated with maintaining a system of record, such as collecting and disseminating
records.
(3) Army entities with LE missions, including force protection, will be provided access.
(4) Antiterrorism and force protection officers, employed in support of Army LE agencies.
c. Access does not apply to the following categories of Army personnel, who are not considered to be Army LEOs:
(1) Security officers not employed as an Army LE analyst or criminal intelligence analyst and not validated, in
writing, by the Army.
(2) Antiterrorism and force protection officers not validated in law enforcement or law-enforcement-supporting
positions.
(3) Counterintelligence officers or counterintelligence special agents.
(4) Corrections specialists who are not Army LEOs.
d. Agencies with intelligence and CI missions are restricted from acquiring eGuardian accounts. However, LE
personnel will provide eGuardian SAR information to CI and intelligence analytic cells upon indications of attempted
or actual espionage, subversion sabotage, terrorism-extremist activities directed against the Army and its personnel,
facilities, resources, and activities; indicators of potential terrorist-associated insider threats; illegal diversion of military
technology; unauthorized intrusions into automated information systems; unauthorized disclosure of classified informa-
tion; and indicators of other incidents that may indicate foreign intelligence or international terrorism targeting of the
Army. This is to ensure appropriate SAR data is fused with other intelligence reporting.
e. Any concerned Soldier or citizen can submit an SAR to the nearest installation PM, DES, CI, or CID office. The
receiving office will then be responsible for reviewing the information and determining whether it is appropriate for
submission into eGuardian.
f. This reporting does not negate the requirement to dispatch serious-incident reports through Army and LE reporting
channels. Army activities without an installation PM or DES will refer to table 1–1 to find their supporting installation
PM or DES.
g. Each installation PM or DES will do the following:
(1) Conduct a preliminary evaluation of SAR information received to assess credibility, and initiate an RDF, only
when the incident warrants immediate investigation or when the SAR is recommended as an eGuardian report. The
report will be coordinated with the supporting CID office and receive supervisory-level approval, prior to entering into
eGuardian. Any installation PM or DES without user access will forward SARs using the RDF, to the local CID office,
for entering into eGuardian. An urgent-classification SAR will be entered as a restricted entry in the MP blotter to
preclude compromise of the information. The PM or DES will ensure use of offense codes under the 9Z category,
along with the RDF or blotter entry number, to identify the information as SAR.
(2) Ensure that sufficient installation PMO or DES personnel have eGuardian access (user, supervisor, read-only) in
order to establish situational awareness of SAR information entered into the eGuardian system.
(3) Ensure CI-applicable SAR information is reported to the local CI activity in accordance with AR 381–12, and
affected commanders for the purposes of supporting antiterrorism decisions, in accordance with AR 525–13.
(4) Coordinate CID assistance in conducting preliminary and follow-on SAR investigations.
h. eGuardian reportable and nonreportable information is defined according to many variables:
(1) Reportable information categories—
(a) Urgent: refers to information regarding a terrorism-related event, terrorist threat, or suspicious activity. Urgent
information will be submitted into eGuardian for approval in not more than 12 hours of receipt. For example, if a
stolen vehicle is recovered on a DOD installation and contains firearms and a laptop computer with information
pertaining to planned attacks on a government facility.
(b) Specific and actionable: those reports warranting the initiation of investigative activity. These reports will be
submitted into eGuardian for approval within 24 hours. For example, if security guards observe a person taking
prolonged video of the entrance to a DOD facility with a handheld video recorder, and the same individual is reported
to have been observed recording video of the building on two separate occasions in the past week.
(c) Non-actionable: those reports that may be relevant to the establishment of patterns of suspicious activity. These
50 AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
reports will be submitted into eGuardian for approval within 72 hours. (For example: military uniforms are reported
stolen out of an employee’s vehicle while parked at Baltimore Washington International Airport.)
(2) In accordance with DTM 10–018, the following are examples of nonreportable or inappropriate information:
(a) Information based solely on the ethnicity, race, or religion of an individual, or reported solely due to the exercise
of rights guaranteed by the first amendment (for example, authorized protests).
(b) Information gathered under 50 USC 1801, et seq. (The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act).
(c) Information classified confidential, secret, top secret, or compartmented. This information is reported using the
classified guardian system. USACIDC elements needing to report this type of information will forward it to the
Headquarters CIOC, or report the information via intelligence information reports. CIOC analysts will ensure the
USACIDC liaison officer to the National Joint Terrorism Task Force receives the information for submission as a
guardian report.
(d) Information pertaining to Rule 6(e) (grand jury materials) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.
(e) Any information otherwise legally restricted.
Chapter 9

56 AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
Installation PMs, DESs, or other LE officials will coordinate through installation SJAs, with local U.S. magistrates, or
U.S. District Courts to secure a court-approved list of offenses requiring mandatory appearance before the local U.S.
magistrate.
b. Optional appearances will be requested by violators:
(1) At the time a Central Violations Bureau Form is issued. The LE officials issuing the Central Violations Bureau
Form will refer violators to the proper U.S. magistrate if a hearing is requested by the violator.
(2) By mail. These violators include those who—
(a) Are not present at the time a Central Violations Bureau Form is issued (for example, for a parking violation).
(b) Subsequently volunteer to appear before the U.S. magistrate rather than forfeit the collateral indicated on the
Central Violations Bureau Form.
(c) Violators who use the mail-in procedure to request an optional appearance before a U.S. Magistrate must place a
check mark on the appropriate line. The violator will be notified by the clerk of the U.S. District Court of the time,
date, and place to appear for the hearing.
10–4. Central Violations Bureau
a. The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts established the CVB for processing Central Violations Bureau
Forms. Each U.S. District Court has a local rule or order that provides or authorizes a preset forfeiture of collateral
amount for persons charged with certain petty offenses. Rules for processing misdemeanors and other petty offenses
are established under Rule 58 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and by the individual district courts. The
existence of the local rules does not prevent LE personnel from requesting that a complaint be filed against a defendant
in lieu of issuing a Central Violations Bureau Form. These procedures merely provide an alternative method for
handling petty offense cases; a method which is usually more convenient for the law enforcement personnel, the
defendant, and the court.
b. Even though the amount paid is stated to be a fine, it is actually a posting of collateral which is forfeited if the
defendant pays and does not request an appearance before a U.S. magistrate judge. Acceptance of payment by the CVB
terminates the proceeding. Local Federal rules and State law determine whether a moving violation will be reported as
a conviction to the state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). There are certain offenses where forfeiture of collateral
is not permitted. Those offenses require a mandatory appearance before a U.S. magistrate judge. Also, a defendant will
request a hearing before a U.S. magistrate judge rather than paying the forfeiture of collateral and a hearing will be
scheduled. The CVB or the U.S. magistrate judge will process these matters.
c. The U.S. Attorney is responsible for all prosecutions in the U.S. District Court and for coordinating law
enforcement efforts. Generally, the U.S. Attorney delegates to the individual agencies authority to issue Central
Violations Bureau Forms and to prosecute petty offenses initiated by Central Violations Bureau Form. As an example,
judge advocates have generally been authorized by the U.S. Attorney to prosecute certain crimes in which the Army
has an interest. These are commonly referred to as Special Assistant United States Attorneys.
Chapter 11
Use of United States District Court Central Violations Bureau Form
11–1. General
a. The basis for initiating action by the U.S. magistrate system is the United States District Court Central Violations
Bureau Form. The form is designed to provide legal notice of a violation. It also records information required by the
U.S. District Court, LE authorities, and, if appropriate, state DMVs. The three-part form is printed on chemically
carbonized paper and pre-numbered in a series for accounting control. The form will be bound with 25 Central
Violations Bureau Forms per book. Installation LE agencies will be accountable for each Central Violations Bureau
Form issued and for stock on-hand. Accountable records will be maintained in accordance with AR 25–400–2.
b. The installation PM or DES, or other LE officials, will coordinate through installation SJAs with the U.S.
magistrate of the judicial district in which the installation is located. As a minimum, information listed below must be
obtained from the U.S. magistrate before referral of violators to the U.S. magistrate or U.S. District Court.
(1) A list of misdemeanors for which the mail-in procedure is authorized and the amount of collateral for each
offense. The district court address will be pre-stamped (using a locally procured stamp) on the violator’s copy of the
Central Violations Bureau Form by the issuing authority.
(2) A list of misdemeanors requiring mandatory appearance by the violator before the U.S. magistrate. The
magistrate’s name and location, and the dates and times of appearance, will be cited when scheduling a violator to
appear before the U.S. magistrate.
c. The Statement of Probable Cause and the Promise to Appear will be used in compliance with installation SJA and
U.S. magistrate or U.S. District Court policies and instructions. The Statement of Probable Cause printed on the back
of the original United States District Court Central Violations Bureau Form is required to support the issuance of a
57AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
summons or an arrest warrant. The promise to appear, printed with instructions to the violator on the inner flap of the
envelope, is optional and some U.S. magistrates or U.S. District Courts will elect not to use it.
11–2. Important guidelines for issuing the U.S. District Court Central Violations Bureau Form
The following is a list of important guidelines for the preparation of the U.S. District Court Central Violations Bureau
Form:
a. Complete the Central Violations Bureau Form legibly. Printing is preferred.
b. Ensure the CVB location code is on every Central Violations Bureau Form.
c. Mail Central Violations Bureau Forms to the CVB within 5 days of being issued to the defendant.
d. Only one offense will be cited per Central Violations Bureau Form.
e. Ensure the proper forfeiture schedule is used for the appropriate U.S. District Court.
f. Do not indicate the fine amount on mandatory appearance violations.
g. Verify that the lockbox address (Central Violations Bureau, P.O. Box 70939, Charlotte, NC 28272–0939) appears
on the defendant’s copy to ensure proper mailing.
11–3. Issue and disposition procedures
a. Information entered on the U.S. District court Central Violations Bureau Form is dependent on the following:
(1) The type of violation (standing, moving traffic violation, or nontraffic offense).
(2) Whether the violation cited requires the mandatory appearance of the violator before a U.S. magistrate.
b. A standardized Central Violations Bureau Form initiates a petty offense case in a U.S. District Court. It is a
multipart document designed to provide legal notice to the defendant and to provide the court and the agency with
necessary information for processing.
c. Each Federal LE agency is responsible for providing its personnel with Central Violations Bureau Forms. Each
agency is also responsible for accounting for all Central Violations Bureau Forms.
d. The Central Violations Bureau Form is a three-part form which is distributed as follows:
(1) The white (original) copy is mailed to: Central Violations Bureau, P.O. Box 780549, San Antonio, TX
78278–0549.
(2) The pink copy is kept by the issuing agency. The CVB recommends 5 years in accordance with records retention
guidelines.
(3) The ivory (cardboard) copy is given to the defendant at the time of issuance; or upon arrest, it is placed on the
defendant’s vehicle or mailed to the defendant by the issuing agency. This copy should contain the address of the
lockbox facility on the front of the envelope. This copy informs the defendant of the charges and gives detailed
instructions on how to pay the collateral or plead not guilty and appear in court. The instructions also advise the
defendant of the potential consequences for failure to appear or to pay, including notifying the state DMV, which could
affect their driving privileges and/or registration. The citation also serves as an envelope for mailing forfeiture of
collateral payment to the lockbox facility. The issuing officer must complete certain items on the Central Violations
Bureau Form in order to provide the CVB with all necessary information for the U.S. magistrate judge.
11–4. Fines, collateral, and nonpayment delinquencies
Army LE agencies will do the following:
a. Not accept or otherwise collect any fines or collateral or keep records of fines or collateral paid or not paid.
b. Take no action concerning nonpayment delinquencies except where warrants are issued for the violator by the
proper court authorities.
11–5. Notification to commanders and supervisors
When the Central Violations Bureau Form is used to cite military personnel and DOD-affiliated employees for
misdemeanors, the violator’s unit commander or supervisor will be advised as follows:
a. When the Central Violations Bureau Form is used to cite military personnel and DOD-affiliated employees for
mandatory appearance type violations, an information copy of the LER will be provided to the violator’s unit
commander or supervisor. The LER will denote the date, time, location, type of violation, and where the violator is
scheduled to appear before the U.S. magistrate. The LER will be entered in DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as
ALERTS. DA Form 4833 will be generated and used to report action taken by the commander or supervisor.
b. When the Central Violations Bureau Form is used to cite military personnel and DOD-affiliated employees for
violations that are disposed of by mail, the commander or supervisor will be advised by use of the LER. The LER will
be entered into the automated DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as ALERTS. DA Form 4833 will be generated and
used to report action taken by the Magistrate Court to the commander or supervisor.The installation PM, DES, or other
designated person will sign DA Form 4833 before forwarding it to the commander.
11–6. Use of statement of probable cause
In compliance with guidelines issued by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, the reverse side of the Central
58 AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
Violations Bureau Form provides the statement of probable cause. This is required by Rule 58(d)(3) of the Federal
Rules of Criminal Procedure to support the issuance of a summons or arrest warrant. The statement of probable cause
will be printed on the reverse side of the original Central Violations Bureau Form, on all copies of the Central
Violations Bureau Form, or as a separate form (such as DA Form 2823). Upon receipt of the probable cause statement
by the issuing officer and a finding of sufficient probable cause by the U.S. magistrate judge, bench warrants
forwarded by the CVB to the U.S. magistrate judge will then be signed, dated, and issued. If the statement of probable
cause has been properly completed by LE personnel, the U.S. magistrate judge can then issue the bench warrant.
11–7. Mandatory appearance
Certain offenses require a mandatory appearance before a U.S. magistrate judge. When preparing such a Central
Violations Bureau Form, LE personnel will check the box indicating mandatory appearance. The place and time box of
the court appearance will not be completed, unless the CVB or the court authorizes the court date and times to be
written on the Central Violations Bureau Form. The CVB will notify the defendant of this information by mailing to
the defendant a notice to appear (NTA) letter. The CVB will either promptly forward the Central Violations Bureau
Form to the designated U.S. magistrate judge to schedule, or CVB will schedule the court appearance. If LE personnel
check the box indicating mandatory appearance, then the box indicating a collateral fine will be left blank.
11–8. Submitting mandatory hearing violations
In most districts, mandatory appearance Central Violations Bureau Forms are transmitted to U.S. District Court in the
same manner as optional appearances. Other districts require mandatory appearance violations be mailed directly to the
U.S. magistrate judge’s office. If the hearing date and time has not been preassigned, it is the responsibility of the U.S.
magistrate judge’s staff to notify the defendant and the agency of the date.
11–9. Submitting forms to the Central Violations Bureau
Agencies should submit Central Violations Bureau Forms within 5 days, in person or by mail. Central Violations
Bureau Forms should be forwarded to the CVB the same day the Central Violations Bureau Forms are issued.
Transmittal sheets are not required by CVB, but can be used if the agency so desires. If an agency requires a receipt
for the notices, they will include the transmittal sheet and a self-addressed, pre-stamped envelope. The transmittal sheet
will be stamped “received,” and returned to the agency. This merely acknowledges receipt of the Central Violations
Bureau Forms.
11–10. Agency requests to dismiss or void a Central Violations Bureau form
a. If a Central Violations Bureau Form has been issued in error, it will be voided in one of two ways. If the agency
is still in possession of all copies, void the notice and record that action. If the Central Violations Bureau Form has
already been placed on a vehicle, given to the defendant, or has been forwarded to the CVB, the notice can only be
dismissed by the U.S. magistrate judge for that district.
b. A written statement signed by the supervisor or chief LE officer from an agency requesting a Central Violations
Bureau Form or notices be dismissed or voided must be forwarded to the CVB via mail or emailed to the following
address: [email protected]. The mailing address is: Central Violations Bureau, P.O. Box 780549, San Antonio, TX
78278–0549. The CVB will enter a request for void into the database and forward it to the U.S. magistrate judge with a
CVB transmittal letter. Upon reviewing the request from the agency, the U.S. magistrate judge will either approve or
deny dismissal.
(1) To approve the dismissal or void, the U.S. magistrate judge will check the block “Dismissal Approved,” date,
sign, and forward the order to the CVB. The CVB will enter the disposition code NA (Agency Requested Dismissal)
into the system and file all related paperwork.
(2) To deny the dismissal or void, the U.S. magistrate judge will check the block “Further Action to Be Taken,”
date, sign, and forward the order to the CVB. The CVB will then contact the agency and inform them of any additional
information or action ordered by the U.S. magistrate judge.
c. If an RDF was initiated, the report should be updated in the automated DA Form 190–45–SG, also known as
ALERTS, to reflect that the Central Violations Bureau Form was dismissed or voided.
11–11. Request for dismissal or void by the defendant
When a defendant mails evidence to the CVB concerning the offense, (proof of insurance, registration, and so on), or
correspondence addressed to the U.S. magistrate judge directly, the information is entered into the computer and
forwarded to the U.S. magistrate judge attached with the docket package. In some instances, a citation or citations will
have already been forwarded to the court. These cases will be attached to a CVB transmittal letter and forwarded to the
U.S. magistrate judge.
a. To approve the dismissal or void, the U.S. magistrate judge will check the block “Dismissal Approved,” will date,
sign, and forward the order to the CVB. The CVB will enter the disposition code “NH” (violator request) into the
system and file all related paperwork.
b. To deny the dismissal or void, the U.S. magistrate judge will check the block “Further Action to Be Taken,” date,
59AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
sign, and forward the order to the CVB. The CVB will then contact the agency and inform them of any additional
information or action ordered by the U.S. magistrate judge.
11–12. Central Violations Bureau Forms issued to unattended vehicles
Central Violations Bureau Forms may be issued to unattended motor vehicles. If at all possible, the issuing agency
must ascertain the defendant’s name and address before the Central Violations Bureau Form is forwarded to CVB.
Central Violations Bureau Forms without a complete mailing address will be returned to the agency for further action.
11–13. U.S. magistrate judge docket report
The NTA letters are mailed to defendants approximately 4 weeks before the court date to allow for a response from the
defendant and to allow the defendant to forfeit collateral. If the CVB does not hear from the defendant, a computer
generated docket sheet and judgment order is automatically produced 14 days before the court date. Warrants,
suspensions, and images of the original Central Violations Bureau Form are then forwarded to the U.S. magistrate
judge with the docket sheet and judgment order, which lists the violation number, CVB location code, and the
defendant’s name and address. The violations are listed in alphabetical order according to the defendant’s last name.
The docket sheet and judgment order has additional space for the U.S. magistrate judge’s courtroom deputy to
complete at the time of the hearing. Once the hearing is held, the information will be entered on the docket sheet and
judgment order and returned to CVB.
11–14. Request to agency for a better address
The CVB requests agencies mail all original citations within 3 working days of issuance. Central Violations Bureau
Forms without full name and address information should not be mailed, unless payment has been received by CVB.
Central Violations Bureau Forms received at the CVB without a complete mailing address will be returned to the
agency for further action. If a Central Violations Bureau Form is entered without a valid address or returned to the
CVB as undeliverable, a request for a better address will be generated. If the agency obtains a better address for these
violations, please notify CVB. Failure to receive better addresses from the issuing agency within 15 days from the date
of this list will result in the voidance or dismissal of these violations.
11–15. Undeliverable warning letters referred to U.S. magistrate judge
Sixteen days after the transmittal “Request to Agency for Better Address” has been printed and forwarded to the
agency, and no response has been received, an “Undeliverable Warning Letters Referred to U.S. Magistrate Judge”
transmittal will be produced by the CVB. This transmittal will have images of the original Central Violations Bureau
Forms attached and will be forwarded to the U.S. magistrate judge. The U.S. magistrate judge has the following two
options:
a. To approve dismissal for lack of a better address, the U.S. magistrate judge will check the block “Dismissal
Approved,” date, sign, and return the transmittal to the CVB. The CVB will enter the disposition code “NM” (dismissal
without prejudice) into the system and file all related paperwork. Agencies will be notified of the disposition by
issuance of the “open/closed index” monthly report.
b. To deny dismissal for lack of a better address, the U.S. magistrate judge will check the block “Further Action to
be Taken,” and then date, sign, and return the transmittal to the CVB with instructions on any action to be taken by the
CVB or issuing agency.
11–16. Notice to appear letters
a. The NTA letters are mailed to defendants 4 weeks prior to the court date. The NTA letter lists the citation
number, location code, date of offense, amount that will be forfeited in lieu of going to court (if the offense committed
requires a mandatory appearance, the NTA will read “mandatory appearance required”), the date the NTA letter was
mailed, the offense, place of offense, and any special instructions the court wishes the defendant to know. The NTA
letter will notify the defendant of the location, date and time of hearing. Each NTA letter contains a postage paid
business reply envelope. In the event the offense was an “optional appearance,” the defendant has the opportunity of
paying the citation prior to the court date.
b. Defendants have the option of calling to obtain their court date from the automated voice case information system
at the CVB. A selection on the automated answering system allows them to enter their violation number, and after
doing so, the recording will repeat the court date and time. Should the defendants have any questions, an operator will
assist them.
11–17. Warrant
The warrant reflects the defendant’s name and address, the violation number, the date the Central Violations Bureau
Form was issued, and the offense. If the court date has passed and the defendant has failed to appear, the U.S.
magistrate judge may issue a warrant. The “notice before arrest” is mailed by the U.S. Marshal to the defendant, upon
receipt of the warrant from the U.S. magistrate judge.
60 AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
11–18. Suspension notices
If legislation in a state allows acceptance of a Federal citation from the CVB by the state DMV, a defendant who does
not pay the forfeiture of collateral amount and does not appear before the U.S. magistrate judge on the scheduled court
date may have their State-issued driver’s license suspended. The CVB will produce a suspension notice to mail to the
court together with the final docket. The suspension process normally takes the place of the warrant process. If the
court decides to issue the suspension, then the court is responsible for mailing a copy to the defendant and to the DMV,
and for retaining a copy for the court’s records. If the defendant pays the forfeiture of collateral amount after receiving
notice of the suspension, the court should submit a withdrawal of the suspension to the State government’s DMV.
11–19. Agency notification
When the U.S. magistrate judge docket is produced by the CVB, a report (the “magistrate-referred listing”) of
violations is emailed to all agencies which have citations on the upcoming docket.
11–20. Hearing types
All petty-offense violations are either an optional court appearance (O) or a mandatory court appearance (M). The
optional Central Violations Bureau Form allows for a predetermined forfeiture of collateral amount to be paid which
will close the Central Violations Bureau Form. The hearing type is listed on the petty offense docket between the
violation number and the defendant’s name. Optional is designated as “O.” A mandatory appearance will be shown as
an “M.” If the officer fails to write the forfeiture amount on the Central Violations Bureau Form, CVB will
automatically enter “M” for mandatory appearance. The court will choose to change hearing types from mandatory to
optional and indicate the dollar amount that may be forfeited on the docket.
11–21. Forfeiture of collateral on a court docket
Once on the docket, images of the Central Violations Bureau Form(s) and warrant(s) have been mailed to the court, the
CVB will email the court if a payment has been made on a Central Violations Bureau Form on the docket. All
payments received by CVB are processed daily. Therefore, the CVB will notify the court of any payments received on
the docket the next working day.
11–22. Payment by credit card
The CVB can accept payment by credit card for fines to minimize deferred or installment payments for petty offense
fines. The U.S. magistrate judge’s courtroom deputy will also provide the defendant with a Plastic Card Sale
Transaction to complete. The defendant should mail the Plastic Card Sale Transaction to the CVB lockbox facility
(Central Violations Bureau, P.O. Box 70939, Charlotte, NC 28272–0939). Please ensure all fields have been com-
pleted. A daytime phone number should be used when applicable. The CVB will process the credit card payment when
received. If the credit card company denies the use of the card, the CVB will notify the defendant that the charge was
denied.
11–23. Payroll deductions
If a court services a military installation, payroll deductions will be used. This allows the fine assessed to be deducted
from the defendant’s payroll check and deposited to the U.S. Treasury. The information will be provided by the
Military Financial Section. Upon receipt of the docket with a disposition code of “PR” or “TR,” the CVB will close the
case.
11–24. Citations on the docket to be reset
In some cases, additional time is required by the court or the defendant to prepare for the case. The citation will then
be reset. The CVB will initially set the cases for the first hearing; thereafter, the court is responsible for all resets.
Notification to the defendant of the reset must be made by the court.
11–25. Agency monthly reports
The “Agency Open Index Report” is emailed monthly to each agency. It lists all pending Central Violations Bureau
Forms. It will also indicate if the Central Violations Bureau Form has been set for a hearing. In the form of a two-letter
code it shows what, if any, action has occurred on the Central Violations Bureau Form. It is the responsibility of each
agency to notify the CVB of any changes in personnel. The agency should provide a name, email address, phone, and
fax number for each point of contact. The “Agency Closed Index Report” is emailed monthly to the agencies and is
similar to the “Agency Open Index Report.” It lists all violations closed the previous month, the date the violation was
disposed of, and in the form of a two letter-code which indicates the disposition of the case. These reports provide an
excellent means of comparing agency records with those of the CVB. Agencies should contact the CVB if there are
any discrepancies between the reports.
11–26. Waiver of venue for plea and sentence
Pursuant to Rule 58(c)(2) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, a defendant will state in writing a wish to plead
61AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
guilty or nolo contendere to waive venue and trial in the district where the violation is pending and consent to
disposition of the case in a district in which that defendant is present. Unless the defendant thereafter pleads not guilty,
the prosecution will be had as if venue were in such district. Notice of the same will be given to the magistrate judge
in the district where the violation was originally commenced. The defendant’s statement of a desire to plead guilty or
nolo contendere is not admissible against the defendant. The original request, made under Rule 58(c)(2) of the Federal
Rules of Criminal Procedure, is then forwarded to the court which currently has jurisdiction of the case for transfer.
The magistrate judge signs the request and returns the file and the request to the requesting court. A copy of the signed
order should be mailed to the CVB. Upon receipt of the original documents, the receiving court will set the case for the
next available docket.
11–27. Intra-district transfer
When a Central Violations Bureau Form is transferred from one U.S. magistrate judge to another in the same district,
the notice and any other paperwork is mailed directly from the present U.S. magistrate judge to the receiving U.S.
magistrate judge. The CVB is notified in writing of this intra-district transfer so system records can correctly reflect the
U.S. magistrate judge assigned to the case.
11–28. Voice Case Information System
The Voice Case Information System (VCIS) is available by calling CVB’s main number at 1–800–827–2982. The
VCIS provides case information over the telephone 24 hours per day. Defendants, agencies, and courts can verify if a
payment has been received or a date a citation has been scheduled.
11–29. Central Violations Bureau database search option through email
The CVB has an email program that can be used instead of calling VCIS. It is superior to the VCIS telephone
functionality in a number of ways. There is no limit to the number of citations that can be checked and it is able to
retrieve the information in less time. There is more information available via email. The response will be via email so
the information can be kept electronically for your records. Simply list the citations in an email and send it to
[email protected]. To use the system, do the following:
a. Compose an email to [email protected]. The subject of the email does not matter. The return email will
have the same subject as you enter. It is suggested that the user choose something he or she will recognize.
b. Create a list of citations. The list should start with a line containing the word “start” followed by one citation per
line. After the last citation add a line containing the word “end.” For example—
(1) Start.
(2) A1234567.
(3) B2345678.
(4) C3456.
(5) End.
(6) In this example, searches for citation numbers A1234567, B2345678, and C3456 will be performed against the
CVB database.
c. Send your message.
d. Wait for a reply. The reply should return to you within a few minutes of submission.
11–30. Disposition of personnel subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice
Personnel subject to the UCMJ who pay a fine or forfeit collateral or whose cases are disposed of in accordance with
this regulation will not be punished under the provisions of the UCMJ for the same violation. Installation commanders
should establish policies on how to refer Army personnel to the U.S. magistrate for disposition when the violator’s
conduct constitutes a misdemeanor within the magistrate’s jurisdiction and is also a violation of the UCMJ. Such
policies must be consistent with directives of higher headquarters and coordinated through installation SJAs and with
local U.S. magistrates or U.S. District Courts.
11–31. Disposition of juvenile offenders
Juveniles are not subject to the jurisdiction of U.S. magistrates or U.S. District Courts without a certification by the
U.S. Attorney General that the state juvenile court lacks jurisdiction, refuses to assume jurisdiction, or does not have
adequate programs and services available (under 18 USC 5032). Therefore, coordination should be made with local
juvenile authorities concerning the disposition of offenses committed by juveniles on Army installations. Coordination
will also be made with the appropriate Juvenile Disciplinary Advisory Council, which will also have the authority to
dispose of offenses committed by juveniles.
62 AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
Chapter 12
National Crime Information Center Policy
12–1. Authority
The authority for Army LE agencies to access CJIS, NCIC, and NLETS is based on this regulation, user agreements
between the installation LE activity and the respective State government’s CTA, and issuance of an originating agency
identifier (ORI). All transactions must be according to the standards of this regulation, the NCIC Operating Manual,
State government user manuals, and State user agreements. In instances where there will be a conflict in standards, the
strictest policy interpretation will apply.
12–2. Standards
The following standards must be followed in operating terminals:
a. The NCIC use is limited to authorized criminal justice purposes, such as stolen vehicle checks or wants and
warrants. Subject to FBI regulations and policy, NCIC checks of visitors to a military installation may be authorized by
the installation or garrison commander in accordance with DOD 5200.08-R and DODI 5200.08. Visitors to Army
installations are non-DOD affiliated personnel.
b. Dissemination of information is based on an official need to know.
c. Only trained and authorized personnel will operate terminals.
d. An Army agency queried over the NCIC must respond within 10 minutes for a priority-1 (urgent) hit confirma-
tion and within 1 hour for a priority-2 (routine) hit confirmation.
e. Required NCIC documentation and State-written documentation must be prepared and retained for audit by the
NCIC or State CTA.
f. Army LE agencies will not use DOJ Joint Automated Book System accounts to directly interface with CJIS.
g. Only personnel in the Latent Print Division of the USACIL will submit or receive IAFIS transactions involving
latent finger or palm prints.
12–3. Authorized access
a. The NCIC terminal operators are authorized access to files maintained in the NCIC in the performance of their
official duties:
b. Participation in other Federal, State, and local police information systems is authorized.
12–4. Reports of positive urinalysis-test results entered into the National Instant Checks System
database though National Crime Information Center
The NICS Improvement Amendment Act of 2007 creates independent statutory obligation for Federal agencies to
report records identifying prohibited persons to the U.S. Attorney General. Army LE is required to report positive drug
urinalysis tests to the NICS under the authority of 18 USC 922 (The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993)
for the following:
a. Unlawful users, in accordance with 18 USC 922(g)(3) and 27 CFR 478.11. It is unlawful for any person who is
an unlawful user of, or addicted to, any controlled substance as defined in 21 USC 802 (The Controlled Substance Act)
section 102, to purchase weapons.
(1) Inference of current use may be drawn from evidence of recent use or possession of a controlled substance, or a
pattern of use or possession that reasonably covers the present time such as—
(a) Conviction for use or possession of a controlled substance within the past year.
(b) Multiple arrests for such offenses within past 5 years if most recent arrest occurred within past year, or
(c) Person found through a drug test to use a controlled substance unlawfully, provided test was administered within
past year.
(2) Sentence coming soon.
b. Upon being notified of a positive urinalysis test administered within the last year, LE staff will enter the
information into the NICS database using their NCIC terminal. (States that do not have the capability to enter NICS
information are exempt until a change to their operating systems and/or funding is provided.) An entry into the NICS
index requires, at a minimum, the following fields to be populated:
(1) NICS message field “EDP.”
(2) Name.
(3) Sex.
(4) PCA – prohibited category code (enter the code C).
(5) Date of birth.
(6) ARI – agency records identifier (MP case number).

Chapter 13
National Crime Information Center Procedures
13–1. Requesting an originating agency identifier
a. To be considered for participation and assignment of an ORI, an activity must meet the standards of the NCIC
and the State CTA.
b. Requests for participation are initiated by the installation PM or DES and submitted to the garrison commander;
requests are then forwarded through the regional IMCOM office or ACOM, ASCC, DRU commander. The regional
IMCOM office will forward their requests to the HQDA IMCOM and to the Director, USACRC for a decision. The
ACOM, ASCC, and DRU commanders will forward their requests to the Director, USACRC for a decision. The
Director, USACRC will disapprove requests that do not meet the criteria of this regulation, NCIC, or state eligibility
requirements. See figures 13–1 and 13–2, below, for an example of a request for an ORI.
Figure 13–1. Sample request from a regional office of the Installation Management Command to obtain an originating agency
identifier
64 AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
Figure 13–2. Sample request—from an Army command, Army service component command, or direct reporting unit—to obtain
an originating agency identifier
13–2. Suspension or revocation
a. The NCIC and State CTAs have the authority to suspend or revoke an Army terminal’s access to files when
operating policies are not correctly followed.
b. Notification of serious violations, suspension, or revocation from the use of NCIC and State government
terminals and NCIC files will be immediately reported directly to the Director, USACRC’s Federal service coordinator
by the most expeditious means. The Federal service coordinator will review the circumstances and effect immediate
coordination to resolve issues.
c. When notified of a serious violation, the installation PM or DES will take corrective action required by the NCIC
or State government’s CTA.
13–3. Entry
a. Entry messages place a new record in the NCIC using the ORI assigned to the agency. Procedures for entering a
new record are explained in each file of the NCIC Operating Manual.
(1) The installation PMs or DESs within the CONUS, as well as Alaska, and Hawaii will enter stolen or missing
government property valued at $500 or more and having a unique manufacturer assigned serial number. All Govern-
ment or privately owned weapons reported lost, stolen, or recovered will be entered into the NCIC gun file, regardless
of value.
(2) Director, USACRC, enters stolen property and gun reports for PM or DES offices in overseas areas.
b. LE activities not located on an Army installation or having access to a terminal will enter into a written
65AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
agreement with an installation PM or DES to have the installation PMO or DES enter records and act as the ORI
holder. Figure 13–3, below, is an example of an ORI holder agreement.
Figure 13–3. Sample of an originating agency identifier holder agreement
66 AR 190–45 • 27 September 2016
13–4. Modification
Modification messages are used to add, delete, or change a portion of data that is part of the NCIC entry. An entering
agency will modify a record while it is in an active status following file procedures in the NCIC Operating Manual.
13–5. Cancellation
Canceling an NCIC entry removes the entire record from the NCIC. A record must be canceled by the entering ORI
when it is determined to be invalid.
13–6. Validation
The NCIC periodically prepares a listing of records on file for validation by system users. Each State CTA and Federal
service coordinator receives a letter explaining the records on the validation list, the order in which records are listed,
and general procedures for validating the records. Army participants must validate their records and respond to the
State CTA. Failure to comply with validation procedures could result in the record being deleted or administrative
action taken against the entering agency.
13–7. Army participation in Criminal Justice Information System
a. Programs consolidated under the CJIS Division included the NCIC, UCR, and Fingerprint Identification Program.
In addition, responsibilities include the IAFIS, NCIC 2000, and the NIBRS.
b. The installation PM’s or DES’s procedures for submitting data to the UCR, IAFIS, and NIBRS are explained
paragraph 4–10.
c. The purchase of IAFIS equipment must be coordinated and approved by the Installation Management Agency, or
the ACOM, ASCC, DRU commanders, and the Director, USACRC. This will ensure that all IAFIS devices are
compatible and that the Director, USACRC, properly submits all fingerprint submissions to IAFIS and the criminal
history file of the NCIC.
