7 AAC 54.100 - Disclosure to criminal justice officials
(a) The department
will not disclose child protection information, in the absence of a court
order, to federal, state, or local law enforcement officers, or other criminal
justice officials unless that information will be used for purposes directly
connected with the administration of child protection services programs or as
provided in
AS
47.10.093(b)(6). Included in
those purposes may be requests for assistance from law enforcement officers in
obtaining physical custody of a child, requests for assistance in investigation
of harm to an adult or a child, and requests for assistance if disclosure is
necessary to protect the safety of the client or the public.
(b) When a court order is issued directing
the department to disclose child protection information not otherwise
disclosable under this chapter to a law enforcement or criminal justice agency,
the department will apprise the court of the statutes and regulations
concerning confidentiality and ask the court to rule on disclosability before
disclosing the information.
