Principal Purpose: Certain determinations, such as employment, licensing, and security clearances, may be
predicated on fingerprint-based background checks. Your fingerprints and associated information/biometrics
may be provided to the employing, investigating, or otherwise responsible agency, and/or the FBI for the
purpose of comparing your fingerprints to other fingerprints in the FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI)
system or its successor systems (including civil, criminal, and latent fingerprint repositories) or other available
records of the employing, investigating, or otherwise responsible agency. The FBI may retain your fingerprints
and associated information/biometrics in NGI after the completion of this application and, while retained, your
fingerprints may continue to be compared against other fingerprints submitted to or retained by NGI.
Routine Uses: During the processing of this application and for as long thereafter as your fingerprints and
associated information/biometrics are retained in NGI, your information may be disclosed pursuant to your
consent, and may be disclosed without your consent as permitted by the Privacy Act of 1974 and all applicable
Routine Uses as may be published at any time in the Federal Register, including the Routine Uses for the NGI
system and the FBI’s Blanket Routine Uses. Routine uses include, but are not limited to, disclosures to:

Noncriminal Justice Applicant’s Privacy Rights
Requesting Entity: Waterford Police Department
As an applicant who is the subject of a national fingerprint-based criminal history record check for a noncriminal justice purpose (such
as an application for employment or a license, an immigration or naturalization matter, security clearance, or adoption), you have
certain rights which are discussed below. All notices must be provided to you in writing. ' These obligations are pursuant to the
Privacy Act of 1974, Title 5, United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 552a, and Title 28 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 50.12,
among other authorities.
* You must be provided an adequate written FBI Privacy Act Statement (dated 2013 or later), by the agency that will receive your
criminal history results, when you submit your fingerprints and associated personal information. This Privacy Act Statement must
explain the authority for collecting your fingerprints and associated information and whether your fingerprints and associated
information will be searched, shared, or retained. 2
+ You must be advised in writing of the procedures for obtaining a change, correction, or update of your FBI criminal history record as
set forth at 28 CFR 16.34.
+ You must be provided the opportunity to complete or challenge the accuracy of the information in your FBI criminal history record
(if you have such a record).
+ If you have a criminal history record, you should be afforded a reasonable amount of time to correct or complete the record (or
decline to do so) before the officials deny you the employment, license, or other benefit based on information in the FBI criminal
history record.
+ If agency policy permits, the officials may provide you with a copy of your FBI criminal history record for review and possible
challenge. If agency policy does not permit it to provide you a copy of the record, you may obtain a copy of the record by submitting
fingerprints and a fee to the FBI. Information regarding this process may be obtained at https://www. fbi.gov/services/cjis/identity-
history-summary-checks and https://www.edo.cjis.gov.
+ If you decide to challenge the accuracy or completeness of your FBI criminal history record, you should send your challenge to the
agency that contributed the questioned information to the FBI. Alternatively, you may send your challenge directly to the FBI by
submitting a request via https://www.edo.cjis.gov. The FBI will then forward your challenge to the agency that contributed the
questioned information and request the agency to verify or correct the challenged entry. Upon receipt of an official communication
from that agency, the FBI will make any necessary changes/corrections to your record in accordance with the information supplied by
that agency. (See 28 CFR 16.30 through 16.34.)
+ You have the right to expect that officials receiving the results of the criminal history record check will use it only for authorized
purposes and will not retain or disseminate it in violation of federal statute, regulation or executive order, or rule, procedure or
standard established by the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact Council?
