"Criminal history information" means any record that contains individually identifiable information and describes any aspect of an individual's criminal history or contacts with any law enforcement agency. It includes information describing an individual's arrests and subsequent dispositions; information that an individual has been charged with or indicted for a felony, misdemeanor, or other criminal offense; and information indicating that an individual has been questioned, apprehended, taken into custody or detained, or held for investigation by a law enforcement, police, military, or prosecutorial agency, whether or not the contact with law enforcement led to a criminal conviction. Criminal history information includes both records from any jurisdiction and records that are not prepared strictly for law enforcement purposes, such as investigative consumer reports.
