What action is a law enforcement agency required to take when identifying information has been falsely reported?

When identifying information has been falsely reported, the law enforcement agency is required to notify both the person affected by the false report and the Department of Public Safety. This requirement ensures that the individual is made aware of the incorrect information associated with them, allowing them to address any potential issues, such as reputational harm or difficulties in legal situations. Additionally, notifying the Department of Public Safety is crucial for rectifying the records within state systems, helping to prevent future misunderstandings or wrongful actions based on the erroneous data.

The focus on both the affected individual and the relevant state department underscores the importance of maintaining accurate public records and ensuring individuals have the opportunity to correct any misinformation that could affect their rights or status.
