Who should I contact to clear up a false arrest record from CID?

At any point were you Mirandized ... read your rights? you know .. You have the right to remain silent.. if you did you would have had to sign a waver... Do you remember.

freedom of information act request cid send this alleged information, and get a lawyer, i know it takes time but in the end it will clear you and possibly reward you

CID should have a case record showing that there were no charges filed. If you can get a record of the final disposition of the investigation or a statement from CID stating that no records could be located, you should have sufficient documentation for your SSO to talk the FBI down. Ultimately, you'll need to ask CID to expunge the case record or to help remove the titling (who will then in turn pass the record onto the FBI). The way the FBI gets its records from the military investigative services is flawed and so cases like this is sadly much more common than you might think.

I'd contact the U.S. Army Crime Records Center, 27130 Telegraph Road, Quantico, VA 22134
[login to see] and request a copy of the initial DA Form 3975 (Military Police Record), which should give you all the information you need in order to contact the unit(s) involved in the initial investigation, and then utilize those units to get the information corrected in ALERTS/NCIC. While doing that, I'd also file a DODIG complaint as well as contact the JAG for the installation your unit was stationed at, all concurrently. One of the three will usually come through pretty quickly (or, at least, as quickly as any unit in the military does anything that doesn't directly affect them).

Here is something you may find useful.
1. IF CID investigated you for an "Article 15" proceeding, you were a suspect in a crime.
2. IF after reviewing their findings, command formalized an "Article 15" proceeding, then there was enough evidence to force you to answer the charges made against you.
3. IF after hearing both sides of the story, the hearing panel finds no evidence to adjudicate you guilty of an offense under the UCMJ, then the possible outcomes are these:
A. The accusations were completely unfounded and your record was expunged, the CID officers themselves were punished for being sloppy.
B. The accusations were unsubstantiated under the rules of evidence, and a decision was made, not to proceed, but the record was kept, in case further evidence surfaced that would enhance their case. Remember, a panel of inquiry, a formal hearing, a withdrawal of charges does not constitute a "verdict" in a case. Only a formal bringing of charges and a finding of NOT GUILTY, can clear your name of any charges. And even then, if their are other uncharged specifications, they can bring those out, within the statute of limitations.
C. The accusations were withdrawn, pending further investigation, and the panel decided not to dismiss with prejudice. In which case, a punishable offense can still be prosecuted under the UCMJ, even if the service member was released from Active Duty. Honorable Discharge or not.
4. If new evidence, in an old case, is being re-entered into your background file, it is possible that CID was requested to explain why they investigated you in the first place. A clearance is subject to the assessment of the security officer or custodian of your clearance. If you attended a skin head rally in 1998, and the former custodian thought it irrelevant - it still doesn't mean the new sheriff in town wont deem it questionable. Cases where a clearance was revoked for stuff that happened 20 years earlier, isn't uncommon. Especially if there is a custodian change and the new person doesn't like white male Christians with ties to Southern Baptists. (metaphor only)
Is your new custodian someone who has a motive to make a subjective determination like that? If so, join the thousands of others who were quietly pushed out, because they brought their Bible to a lunch hour study for the last 20 years, and when the new custodian for that project was put in place, suddenly, 1 inconsistency in your record was excuse enough to suspend or even revoke your clearance.
Hey, what do I know... I might be all wet. You may find that things are different. The fact that you reached out to a public online forum about this mess, rather than seeking advice from a trusted insider, may have already doomed any chance you might have of being "cleared" on your next review.
Best of luck. Hope this helps.

I would recommend you file a DODIG complaint they will investigate and require CID to reinvestigate as well. If that doesn't work get your congressional representative involved. Hope this helps.

Interesting contact a JAG office honestly as they are the experts here. If you can find a number of the orginal CID office ask to talk to the oic or bib cheif as they are the orgins for the case. Jag can provide paperwork saying you were cleared of all charges at the very least.

I would start at your Unit Legal department or the JAG OIC for the Company Command first and work your way back to CID with the finding of your Units Article-15 hearing. CID and Military Police are reporting parties. Your Command follows up on the charges unless it went straight to a JAG officer. Trying to get the ordeal removed from the computer may be an other issue.

Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
