What does the term “SPLIT” mean in CARCOs “Investigative Summary” portion of the report?
CARCO follows a standard policy of searching multi repositories in counties where the felony and misdemeanor level criminal offenses are maintained in separate repositories. More than half of the counties in the United States maintain felony and misdemeanor records in separate repositories. In situations where one level of the criminal record is completed before the other (usually the felony record search) – and the other is still pending – the term “SPLIT” appears.
