Francine Johnson reported that the FBI audit was completed. The auditor instructed the Board of?ce to change the current denial letter sent to applicants. He reiterated that the denial letter cannot state the specific reason for the denial. He felt the current letter disclosed there was a criminal record and that none of the reasons should be circled or noted to the security agency. Previous protocol was that the agency was noti?ed that it was either a disclosure issue, a deniable offense, or insuf?cient information was not provided. The auditor indicated the reasons could still be listed on the denial letter but we could not circle which reason speci?cally because that would be a violation of disclosure issue in his view. The Board determined that the letters would still be sent to the agencies, but the speci?c reason would only be sent to the applicant when he requested his record. 6.

The district attorney dismissed the case when it went to court. i believe the denial is based off of inaccurate information and am requesting reconsideration by the executive director.
