In your case I would worry more about HIPAA compliance and being able to prove how secure and reliable the audit process is rather than how long it must be maintained forunless you are tryingh to set that said same standard. I would think that your local Secretary of State(SOS) or the Attorney's in the SOS's office should be able to give you the guidelines you need here. Otherwise check with the people that run your Statewide Criminal Services Data Base and see what their retention policies are. The check with teh Bureau for those for NCIC and you will probably have your answers.!
