How to Access an Arrest Database and Other Public Records

If any US citizen has been arrested comma those records are publicly accessible, whether or not someone was convicted. Arrest records include all information related to the event, and this includes traffic tickets and information on whether or not someone went to court. If you have a legitimate need, there are three ways in which you can access an arrest database.Those are to contact the state government agency that conducts the arrest, to request a copy from the county sheriff, or to go to an independent background check organization.

 

Understanding an Arrest Database

 

A criminal record and an arrest record is part of public information.  what this means is that law enforcement personnel and court clerks have to create, file, and record these documents, which are government property. You, as a member of the public, can obtain copies of any public records at local, state, or federal level. It is quite common for various local entities to maintain their own database. This includes regional police departments, sheriff’s offices, and special law enforcement agencies. Additionally, there are state databases maintained by the state troopers and state police, the correctional facilities, and the highway patrol departments. All of their information is publicly accessible on request.

 

Furthermore, it is federally mandated that sex offender registries are available and accessible online to all citizens. National databases in which sex offenders are registered must also share their information with the country in which the offender resides. Then, there are statewide repositories where the criminal records provided by regional state and municipal courts are maintained, allowing individuals to search information. Lastly, they are the federal government databases, which is more of a central repository. Comprehensive reports are created here through partnership with other law enforcement agencies.

 

Juvenile Arrest Database

 

Juvenile records are not a matter of public knowledge. This is one of the many things that sets them apart from adult records. Juvenile records are sealed when the juvenile turns 18, with exception of certain crimes. Sex crimes and violent crimes such as murders tend to remain accessible.

 

The reason why independent organizations are able to provide access to public criminal records is due to that public nature. Furthermore, it is clear that there is a high demand for this information. As an individual looking for the criminal history on a specific person, you will quickly find that it is very hard to find this unless you know exactly where a certain crime was committed or an arrest to place. Independent organizations have collated all this information, thereby ensuring that you can find out about someone’s background even if you don’t know where they used to live.

 

Some of these independent organizations to have even made their arrest records available for free. Often, they will charge a small fee if you wish to obtain greater details, but that tends to be nominal. Some people feel that accessing this type of information is a violation of privacy, but the reality is that it is publicly available anyway, it has just been made slightly easier to find.
