I, , acknowledge that I have read and
understand the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws, c. 6, §§ 167-178B, of which section

or attempt to obtain criminal offender record information or a self-audit from the department under
false pretenses, knowingly communicate or attempt to communicate criminal offender record
information to any other individual or entity except in accordance with the provisions of sections
168 through 175, or knowingly falsify criminal offender record information, or any records relating
thereto, or to request or require a person to provide a copy of his or her criminal offender record
information except as authorized pursuant to section 172.” Unauthorized access to, or
dissemination of, criminal offender information or a self-audit is punishable by a fine of not more
than five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), or imprisonment in a jail or house of correction for not
more than one year, or both. If the offender is anyone other than a natural person, the fine may be
increased to fifty thousand ($50,000.00) for each offense. Any such violation also subjects me to
a suit for civil damages and/or a civil fine of up to five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) for each such
violation. Furthermore, I acknowledge that I have read and understand the provisions of 28 C.F.R.
20.33 and the most recent version of the FBI CJIS Security Policy relating to access and
dissemination of Federal Bureau of Identification (FBI) Criminal History Record Information
(CHRI). Pursuant to 28 C.F.R. 20.33, I understand that CHRI may only be accessed and
disseminated for one of the purposes set forth in 28 C.F.R. 20.33 and also understand that the
penalty for a violation of said regulations may subject me to a civil fine of up to eleven thousand
dollars ($11,000.00), pursuant to 28 C.F.R. 20.25.
I also understand that a criminal record check will be conducted on me by the Criminal Justice
