The Police Department is authorized to obtain criminal histories from the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation and the Division of Criminal Information Network (“SBI/DCI”) for the purpose of determining whether to grant or deny an application submitted pursuant to Chapter 115 of the Town of Clayton Ordinances. The Police Department will utilize the information obtained from the DCI network to, and only to, process background checks to determine whether to grant or deny a permit. Prior to denial or termination of a permit based upon criminal history records information received, the Police Department shall verify the existence of a record by either obtaining a certified public record or by submitting a fingerprint card of the applicant to the CIIS (Criminal Information and Identification Section/SBI) for verification that the criminal history record belongs to the applicant. The cost of submitting the fingerprint card to the CIIS shall be paid by the applicant.
