Prosecuting agencies wishing to request data from the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) must submit their request using the Prosecuting Agency Portal on the BCA’s GovQA page. 

To ensure appropriate system access, agencies submitting a request for the first time must request an account by clicking Request Prosecuting Agency Account and completing a brief list of questions.

A Brady/Giglio data request is a formal inquiry by a prosecuting agency to the BCA seeking information about any known complaints or discipline involving a BCA employee who may be called to testify in a criminal case, when that information could be relevant to a defendant’s right to due process. Prosecuting agencies making Brady/Giglio data requests of the BCA must follow the GovQA process. Requests submitted via other means will be returned to the requester with instructions to submit their request through the BCA’s GovQA portal.

A requesting agency can monitor the progress of their request in GovQA in its My Request Center and will be notified when the responsive data is ready to go. Data will be available via a secure link provided in My Request Center.
