Supervised Release and Identity Files Flashcards

What distinguishes the NCIC Supervised Release File from the NCIC Wanted Person File for federal offenders?

Answer: The Supervised Release File tracks individuals currently under active supervision; the Wanted Person File tracks those with outstanding arrest warrants

The Supervised Release File tracks those under active supervision without outstanding warrants; the Wanted Person File is used when warrants have been issued for violations or new offenses.

When querying NCIC for a suspect, an officer receives both a Supervised Release File hit and a Wanted Person File hit. What does this indicate?

Answer: The subject is both under active supervision and has an outstanding warrant, requiring immediate hit confirmation and appropriate enforcement action

Both hits are valid and indicate the subject is under active supervision AND has an outstanding warrant, requiring immediate action on the warrant and notification to the supervising officer.

What NCIC file would most appropriately contain a record for an individual released from federal prison on a mandatory release date but still subject to post-release supervision?

Answer: NCIC Supervised Release File

The Supervised Release File is appropriate for individuals released from federal prison who remain under post-release supervision conditions.

How can the NCIC Identity Theft File prevent harm to a victim even years after the identity theft occurred?

Answer: By maintaining the victim's record in the file so that officers will be alerted if anyone uses the stolen identity, even years later during unrelated law enforcement encounters

The record remains in the Identity Theft File, providing ongoing protection by alerting officers who encounter anyone attempting to use the victim's stolen identity, regardless of when the theft occurred.

Which NCIC file would an officer most likely query to determine whether a federal parolee they have stopped is complying with the conditions of their release?

Answer: NCIC Supervised Release File

The NCIC Supervised Release File contains active supervision records for federal parolees and supervised release individuals, including their conditions of release.

Under NCIC policy, what should an agency do if the subject of an Identity Theft File record successfully resolves the identity theft issue and no longer needs the protection of the entry?

Answer: Cancel the NCIC Identity Theft File record when the victim requests removal and the agency verifies the issue is resolved

When a victim requests removal and the agency verifies the identity theft issue is resolved, the entering agency should cancel the NCIC Identity Theft File record.
