Signed releases are an integral part of providing a quality, timely investigation. The minimum information needed to ensure that a release is usable is a signature, typed or printed name, SSN, and signature date.
Legibility is also very important.
Please make every attempt to provide signed releases on a single page. While these are acceptable it is preferred that you provide a single page release. Make sure you scan the bottom part of the release so that it includes the Signature, Typed or Printed Name, Subject's SSN, and the Signature Date. Sending the releases to DSS will permit us to scan them into CCMS and promote more efficient investigations.
