(1) If the disposition of criminal charges is made by the arresting agency, as where the individual is released without charge, the arresting agency shall fill in and complete the disposition report and submit same to the division. If the disposition is known at the time of the arrest, this information should be noted on the fingerprint card or submitted electronically through livescan with the arrest information. In this case, it will be unnecessary to forward a disposition report.

(2) In all cases where the arresting agency does not make the final disposition, it shall initiate the preparation of a disposition report by recording the name of the individual arrested, the charges on which they were arrested, the name of the contributor of the fingerprint record, the process control and/or transaction control number, the arrest number and any other information that may identify the individual. At this stage the disposition of charges will be left blank. The partially completed disposition report must then be included as part of the individual's case file and must be forwarded with other information concerning the charges against the individual to the prosecutor or other agency to which the arresting agency forwards the case.
