What is the difference between the KBI criminal history records and District Court records?
A. The criminal history records maintained by the Central Repository at the KBI contain arrest information, summary of prosecutor actions, court dispositions and incarcerations. These records are based on fingerprint identification, which provides positive identification of the subject of the record. The Central Repository records encompass all jurisdictions in Kansas. The court records include information only about the court activity at the district court level. There is no consolidated court database containing all court data for all Kansas districts. Also, the arrest and prosecutorial actions are not reflected in district court databases.
