Page move...?

[edit]

Given this recent edit, should the page be moved to follow suit; United States Air Force Office of Special Investigations → Office of Special Investigations...? - wolf 17:54, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think the sources support moving to Office of Special Investigations (United States Department of the Air Force). The IP seems correct – sources have stopped using AF OSI and just gone to OSI. We do need to disambiguate though. Garuda28 (talk)
Sure, that works too. - wolf 22:52, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AFOSI as an Official Law Enforcement Agency

[edit]

Under AFOSI: It was not until 1976 when an OSI reservist noted the discrepancy and called it to the attention of command, and OSI quickly sought and received official recognition and designation as an official law enforcement agency.[citation needed].

I am Ronald Knapp, a retired reserve AFOSI special agent, badge 1182. As a state trooper and reserve Special Agent, I was conducting research with the Washington State Patrol and discovered OSI had never been an officially designated as a law enforcement agency and had never been assigned an ORI number from the United States Attorney General's Office. I did in fact notify my commanders of the oversite during the summer of 1976. Shadow549 (talk) 00:40, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your information can't be added as is as it's comsidered original research. You would need to find a reliable source to support the information for it to be added. - wolf 00:25, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My research was based on the 1975 National ORI manual utilized at that time, published by The Department of Justice, and by Washington State law. The National Crime Information Center manual, contains all ORI numbers assigned to all criminal justice law enforcment and communicatgions centers across the US. The manual lists only recognized law enforcement agencies. Refer to National Law Enforcement Telecommunications Systems - ORI (Originating Agency Identifier) Directory | Office of Justice Programs (ojp.gov). Pages 350-351 of the current ORI manual lists the updated AFOSI information added after September of 1976. See also: National Crime Information Center (NCIC) - FBI Information Systems (fas.org). Refer also to: Washington State 1972 law RCW 43.43.700 Identification and criminal history section - Any person who wilfully requests, obtains or seeks to obtain criminal offender record information... penalty fined not more than five thousand dollars, or imprisoned not more than one year or both. AFOSI special agents making such requests without proper authorization under law were subject to arrest prior to the US Attorney's designation of AFOSI as a law enforcement agency in 1976.

Fair enough then. If you read the link on sourcing above, you'll need to provide a speficic source so that it can be attached per WP:CITE. Then add what information you would like added or changged in a "please change 'X' to 'Y' format", or just a "please add 'X'" format. Someone will hopefully help you out shortly. - wolf 13:38, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
