(1) Each law enforcement agency in the state shall submit to a Uniform Crime Reporting Quality Assurance Review at least once every five (5) years.(2) All records relevant to a determination of compliance with section 43.505, RSMo, or these rules shall be open to inspection by the auditors without a subpoena.

The letter will request a response in writing within thirty (30) days detailing the corrective action the agency will take and a projected date of compliance. A follow-up review will then be scheduled to ensure noncompliant topic areas have been corrected. If an agency fails to take corrective action, a report shall be delivered to the director of public safety at the end of the review cycle to notify the director the data from this agency is not compliant with state or national program standards. Data received during a specific time frame may also be identified as questionable within the state data repository until it is corrected by the agency.
