Supervised Release and Identity Files Flashcards

What is the purpose of the NCIC Supervised Release File?

The NCIC Supervised Release File tracks individuals who have been released from federal custody and are subject to supervision conditions imposed by the court or releasing authority.

What is the NCIC Identity Theft File used for?

Answer: Storing records for victims of identity theft to help prevent fraudulent use of their identities by others who may be arrested under false identities

Individuals with outstanding federal warrants for parole or supervised release violations are entered into the NCIC Wanted Person File.

An officer stops a vehicle and queries NCIC. The response shows a hit in the Supervised Release File. What does this mean for the officer's response?

Answer: The officer should be aware that the subject is under supervision conditions and verify compliance; the hit alone does not necessarily require immediate arrest

A supervised release hit alerts the officer that the subject is under federal supervision. The officer should verify compliance with supervision conditions, but the hit alone does not require immediate arrest.
