Acquiring Criminal Records New York

By Claire Dowell


If you want to acquire New York Arrest Records, proceed to the New York Department of Corrections. The office is tasked of maintaining and supplying them to the public per the files being considered as part of the public domain. To initiate a search, procure a request form at the Department of corrections or acquire it from their official website by simply downloading it. Supply the necessary information that the form is asking. Double check the information you are supplying if they are up to date or not because they will play a major role in the outcome of the search. It is imperative that you know at least the full name of the offender so you can start the search. You will be required to pay certain fees for every transaction, payable by money order or through a certified check, and are non-refundable regardless of the search results.

Every arrest conducted is documented accordingly, regardless whether it results to incarceration or not. Name of the person, nature of offense committed, date and place where it was committed, and the name of the arresting officer who made the arrest are just some of the information that you will find on an arrest document. The documents of individuals who are found guilty of the offense charged against them become permanent and consequently become available for the public to view or access. The documents of those who are found not guilty are not made available to the public but they will remain in the custody of the arresting agency that made the arrest for future references.

It is permitted to acquire your own arrest files, if there are any. In case you spot some errors on the information included on your file, you can ask for it to be corrected by the keeper of the files. If you want to get your hands on the files of others, you have to be a law enforcer, a lawyer, a landlord, or an employer, amongst others. The amount of information that will be granted on you depends on the reason why you want to acquire the files.

There are certain laws that need to be observed in terms of the use of the records. The records are recognized by the court as an official supporting document for a court hearing. They can also be used as a source of information as when conducting a background check. No one is allowed to use them to harass, embarrass, defame, or blackmail someone. Violators will be dealt with accordingly by authorities.

Arrest records can also be obtained from online service providers. There are those that are authorized to maintain and provide the records to the public. However, not all of the service providers that you will find on the Internet are legit. Conduct a background check on them first and gather as much information as you can about them until you are convinced that they are legit.

It is also possible to search for Criminal Records Free To Public. You can also find them online through service providers. However, if you cannot, try to go over the state archives and see what you can get from there. Most likely, if it is a free search, you will be given the basic pieces of information of a certain record.
