Purpose(s):
To provide a single central facility within the Department of Defense
(DOD) which can serve as a repository of criminal and specified other
non-criminal incidents which will be used to satisfy statutory and regulatory
reporting requirements, specifically to provide crime statistics required by
the Department of Justice (DOJ) under the Uniform Federal Crime Reporting Act;
to provide personal information required by the DOJ under the Brady Handgun
Violence Prevention Act and the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism
Preparedness and Response Act of 2002; statistical information required by DOD
under the Victim's Rights and Restitution Act; information required for the DOD
database on domestic violence incidents; and to enhance DOD's capability to
analyze trends and to respond to executive, legislative, and oversight requests
for statistical crime data relating to criminal and other high-interest
incidents.
Routine uses of records
maintained in the system, including categories of users and the purposes of
such uses:
In addition to those disclosures
generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b) of the
Privacy Act, these records or information contained therein may specifically be
disclosed outside the DoD as a routine use pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) as follows:
(1) To compile crime statistics so that such information can be both
disseminated to the general public and used to develop statistical data for use
by law enforcement agencies; (2) To compile information on those individuals
for whom receipt or possession of a firearm would violate the law so that such
information can be included in the National Instant Criminal Background Check
System which may be used by firearm licensees (importers, manufactures or
dealers) to determine whether individuals are disqualified from receiving or
possessing a firearm; and (3) To compile information on those individuals for
whom access to a biological agent or toxin would violate the law so that such
information can be included in a database which may be used to determine
whether individuals are disqualified from accessing such agents or toxins.
The DoD 'Blanket Routine Uses' set forth at the beginning
of the OSD compilation of systems of records notices apply to this system.
Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, and
disposing of records in the system:
Storage:
Electronic storage media.

Safeguards:
Computerized records are maintained in a controlled area accessible only
to authorized personnel. Entry to these areas is restricted by the use of
locks, guards, and administrative procedures. Access to personal information is
limited to those who require the records in the performance of their official
duties. Access to personal information is further restricted by the use of
passwords which are changed periodically.
Retention and disposal:
The master file is retained permanently. Input and source records are
destroyed after data have been entered into the master file or when no loner
needed for operational purposes, whichever is later. Output products (electronic
or paper) are destroyed when no longer needed for operational purposes.
