What information is not required when using the Orion File search feature?

• A. Name of the agency
• B. City and state of the agency
• C. Type of crimes reported
• D. Name of the ORI user

Answer: (C)

When using the Orion File search feature, the type of crimes reported is not a required piece of information. The Orion File is designed to allow law enforcement agencies to search for and retrieve relevant information on various cases. For this process, key details such as the name of the agency, the city and state of the agency, and the name of the ORI user are necessary to ensure that the search is appropriately filtered and that the results are relevant to the querying agency.

The requirement for agency-specific details (like the name of the agency and its location) helps maintain the integrity of the search, ensuring that sensitive information is accessed only by authorized personnel from the proper jurisdictions. The identity of the ORI user further personalizes the search process and provides accountability. In contrast, the specific type of crimes reported is not mandatory because it does not directly affect the fundamental execution of the search and may vary greatly depending on the specific needs of the investigation or query at hand. Thus, including that information is optional rather than a requirement for conducting a search.
