Section 11115 Of Article 4. Criminal Records From California Penal Code >> Title 1. >> Part 4. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 4.
11115
. In any case in which a sheriff, police department or other
law enforcement agency makes an arrest and transmits a report of the
arrest to the Department of Justice or to the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, it shall be the duty of such law enforcement agency to
furnish a disposition report to such agencies whenever the arrested
person is transferred to the custody of another agency or is released
without having a complaint or accusation filed with a court. The
disposition report in such cases shall be furnished to the
appropriate agencies within 30 days of release or transfer to another
agency.
If either of the following dispositions is made, the disposition
report shall so state:
(a) "Arrested for intoxication and released," when the arrested
party is released pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of
Section 849.
(b) "Detention only," when the detained party is released pursuant
to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 849 or issued a
certificate pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 851.6. In such
cases the report shall state the specific reason for such release,
indicating that there was no ground for making a criminal complaint
because (1) further investigation exonerated the arrested party, (2)
the complainant withdrew the complaint, (3) further investigation
appeared necessary before prosecution could be initiated, (4) the
ascertainable evidence was insufficient to proceed further, (5) the
admissible or adducible evidence was insufficient to proceed further,
or (6) other appropriate explanation for release.
