Search Police Records

Have you ever wondered if someone was a criminal, arrested
for violating the law? Generally, police reports are a
matter of public record and can contain a wealth of
information. A public record is simply information
maintained by a government agency that can be linked to a
specific person. You can complete a thorough background
check of someone just by researching these records.

What type of information is in a police record?
Examples of police reports may include but are not limited
to: domestic disputes, traffic accidents, thefts, fraud,
assaults, burglaries, and stalking incidents. Other
information that may be available includes crime surveys,
crime statistics, calls for service, and traffic accident
surveys.
Information that can be obtained from police reports
includes identifying information of all involved parties
and witnesses, such as full name, address, phone number,
date of birth, social security number, driver's license
number, and any other identifying information. The report
can also contain motor vehicle information, as well as
specific details of the incident being documented,
including any evidence recovered.

Where can I find a police record?
Access to these records varies greatly from one
jurisdiction to another. In some areas, the information may
be freely available, while in other areas the information
may only be accessible to the parties involved in the
incident or their agent (such as a lawyer). It is also
possible that the record of a specific incident is readily
available, but the identifying information of involved
parties has been removed.

All requests for copies of police reports are made through
the records division of the reporting agency. Some have
online services, and you can receive the information
directly over the Internet or through your personal e-mail.
Other agencies require you to appear in person to request
the information. They will normally charge a nominal
processing fee to provide you with a copy of the report.
The originating agency may also require a form of written
disclaimer stating the information contained in the report
will not be used for solicitation purposes.

If you wish to request a copy of a police report, you will
normally be required to provide the first and last name of
at least one of the involved parties, the location, date,
and time of the incident, and in some cases, the incident
or case number.

Some jurisdictions have regionalized their crime
information into a joint database. Such information systems
allow citizens to research crime statistics, view crime
maps, see who is currently in jail, search for arrest
warrants, and retrieve information about sex offenders
living or working in a given area. Much of this information
is readily available via the Internet.

Whatever your reasons for requesting police records, begin
by researching the requirements of the police agency
responsible for the jurisdiction in which the incident
occurred, then follow their exact protocol for requesting
and receiving those records.
Finding police records across multiple jurisdictions

Conducting your investigation can become complicated if you
need to do a background search on someone who has lived in
multiple jurisdictions. To simplify things, an
internet-based specialized investigation company, such as
Net Detective, can provide a comprehensive, multi-state
search in one easy step. This allows you to search multiple
records from all over the country quickly and easily,
without the hassle of tracking down individual records from
various government entities.
Whether you want to find out what someone's criminal past
contains, or you are trying to locate someone who was
involved in an accident with you, a background check using
police records will likely give you the results you seek.
