<br />VII. Prohibition on Use
<br />Immigration Enforcement Activities
<br />Under Washington’s Keep Washington Working (KWW) law, RCW 10.93.160, state and local law
<br />enforcement agencies are generally prohibited from enforcing federal immigration law. This prohibition is in
<br />recognition of the fact that, standing alone, an individual’s unauthorized presence in the United States is not a
<br />violation of state or local law.
<br />Therefore, to comply with KWW, no criminal justice agency shall use or share ACCESS, or any information
<br />obtained through ACCESS, to support or engage in immigration enforcement activities. The prohibition on
<br />information sharing includes place of birth, present location, release date from detention, if applicable, and
<br />family members’ names, absent a court order, judicial warrant, or as may be required by the Public Records
<br />Act (PRA), chapter 42.56 RCW. Incidents of disclosure of such personal information shall be considered a
<br />breach of this agreement and shall be reported to a designated WSP official.
<br />Out-of-State Abortion and Other Reproductive Health Care Enforcement Activities
<br />Pursuant to the provisions of RCW 9.02.110, RCW 9.02.120, and the Governor’s Directive 22-12.1 dated
<br />February 1, 2023, the WSP is generally prohibited from knowingly cooperating with or providing assistance to
<br />out-of-state abortion and other reproductive health care investigations, prosecutions, or other legal actions,
<br />unless necessary to comply with Washington or federal law.
<br />Neither WSP nor any of its employees, contractors, or agents may contract in any way to provide civil or
<br />criminal cooperation or assistance with abortion and other reproductive health care investigations,
<br />prosecutions, or other legal actions, including through agreements for task force participation, mutual aid,
<br />data sharing, communications dispatch, or any other agreement that shares resources and/or provides data
<br />as described herein, unless necessary to comply with Washington or federal law. WSP shall not use or share
<br />WSP resources and/or data, including any individuals’ personal information ascertained by the WSP or its
<br />personnel, with any third parties to knowingly support or engage in abortion or other reproductive health care
<br />investigations, prosecutions or other legal actions, unless necessary to comply with Washington or federal
<br />law.
<br />Therefore, to comply with Governor’s directive 22-12.1 and applicable statutes, no criminal justice agency
<br />shall use or share WSP resources and/or data, including any individuals’ personal information ascertained by
<br />the WSP or its personnel, with any third parties to knowingly support or engage abortion or other reproductive
<br />health care investigations, prosecutions, or other legal actions, unless necessary to comply with Washington
<br />or federal law.
<br />The prohibition on information sharing includes, but is not limited to, place of birth, present location, release
<br />date from detention, if applicable, reproductive health care history, and family members’ names, unless
<br />necessary to comply with Washington or federal law to include the Public Records act, chapter 42.56 RCW .
<br />Incidents of disclosure of such personal information shall be considered a breach of this agreement and shall
<br />be reported to a designated WSP official.
<br />VIII. Record Entry Responsibilities Record Quality
<br />Criminal justice agencies have a specific duty to maintain records that are accurate, complete, and current.
<br />ACCESS recommends agencies conduct self-audits as a means of verifying the completeness and accuracy
<br />of the information in the system. These self-assessments should be on a continual basis to ensure both
<br />quality assurance and compliance with standards. Errors discovered in NCIC records are classified as serious
<br />errors or non-serious errors.
<br />Serious errors: FBI CJIS will cancel the record and notify the entering agency via administrative message.
<br />The message provides the entire canceled record and a detailed explanation of the reason for cancellation.
<br />Non-serious errors: The CSA notifies the ORI by email of the corrective action to be taken. No further
<br />notification or action will be taken by the CSA, unless the CSA deems it appropriate.
<br />Timeliness
<br />WACIC/NCIC records must be entered promptly to ensure maximum system effectiveness. Records must be
<br />entered according to standards defined in the ACCESS Operations Manual.
