Please note that fingerprinting is done through the Live Scan process which captures the fingerprints electronically. The fingerprint data is then submitted to the California Department of Justice (DOJ) to perform a statewide criminal record search. The DOJ also sends the fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to check against the national criminal history database. The District is precluded from sharing or divulging criminal record history information, including responses that no criminal record history exists, unless expressly authorized to outside entities. Information received is kept in a confidential file and is destroyed once a determination is made.
