Pennsylvania law requires criminal justice agencies to keep detailed records of information dissemination, including who received the data, when, and for what purpose. It also mandates security measures to protect sensitive information from theft, disasters, and unauthorized access. Violations of these provisions can result in administrative penalties.
Agencies must record all persons and agencies who received the information, the date of dissemination, and the purpose for sharing it, keeping this separate from the main record.
Agencies must protect data from disasters, supervise personnel with access, and ensure that computerized systems are dedicated solely to criminal justice purposes or have proper management oversight.
Violations can result in administrative penalties, which may include fines or other disciplinary actions as provided by law.
Criminal justice agencies are responsible for implementing procedures and supervising personnel to maintain the confidentiality and security of sensitive information.
