Under what circumstances can CHRI be shared over the radio?

The sharing of Criminal History Record Information (CHRI) over the radio is permitted when there is an immediate public safety need. This allows law enforcement officers to convey critical information quickly in situations that could be life-threatening or impact the safety of the public. The urgency associated with public safety necessitates that pertinent information be disseminated rapidly to enable officers to respond effectively to unfolding events.

In contrast, other scenarios such as sharing information while officers are on patrol or providing verified information may not meet the same level of immediacy required for radio transmission of sensitive data like CHRI. While a supervisor's request could indicate the need for certain information, it doesn't inherently involve the pressing nature of public safety that justifies using radio channels for such sensitive communications. Each of these alternatives lacks the urgency and essential nature that immediate public safety dictates, reinforcing why the correct condition involves a direct safety concern.
