299C.13 INFORMATION FURNISHED TO PEACE OFFICER.
Upon receipt of information data as to any arrested person, the bureau shall immediately
ascertain whether the person arrested has a criminal record or is a fugitive from justice, and shall
at once inform the arresting officer of the facts ascertained, including references to any juvenile or
adult court disposition data that are not in the criminal history system. Upon application by any
sheriff, chief of police, or other peace officer in the state, or by an officer of the United States or
by an officer of another state, territory, or government duly authorized to receive the same and
effecting reciprocal interchange of similar information with the division, it shall be the duty of the
bureau to furnish all information in its possession pertaining to the identification of any person. If
the bureau has a sealed record on the arrested person, it shall notify the requesting peace officer of
that fact and of the right to seek a court order to open the record for purposes of law enforcement.
A criminal justice agency shall be notified, upon request, of the existence and contents of a sealed
record containing conviction information about an applicant for employment. For purposes of
this section a "criminal justice agency" means courts or a government agency that performs the
administration of criminal justice under statutory authority.
