Law Enforcement

A federal, state or local law enforcement agency engaged in an authorized drug-related investigation may request information from the PDMP for an individual that is the subject of the investigation. The request must be pursuant to a valid court order based on probable cause.  ORS 431.966

A subpoena is not sufficient for the PDMP to release information.  A law enforcement agency must provide a search warrant signed by a judge or a court order signed by a judge that indicates there is probable cause for the judge to issue the order.
