Alabama Free Police Records

By Claire Dowell


Alabama has updated a large database of public data including that of the police records Alabama. This records repository has been around for many years already and is still in operation up to these days. These are the pieces of information on the police reports done by the authorities across the State. However, take note that this type of report does not mean that a person being suspected of the crime was convicted and was sentenced therefore to imprisonment. He or she could have been released immediately without solid evidences which would have led to the person's indictment.

There are different law enforcement divisions being formed in Alabama. But the State's Department of Public Safety is the head of all the operating enforcers within the State. Such department coordinates with the local police headquarters to make sure that all the standard operation procedures are carried out accordingly. The police records technically contain the name of the alleged offender, infraction done, date and time when it happened and the name of the arresting officer. That's all the details you can have from a police record. It is simply where the legal due process starts.

Once the police see a probable cause to file a case against someone, then it shall be carried out by bringing the case to the court for hearing. The police records then become active and can be viewed whenever urgently needed for court proceedings. If there is no legal basis for a complaint, then the police record of an individual will be removed from the police' records database. The active police documents are more often leveraged for background checking purposes. It does not hold a lot of information but it would certainly say something about the attitude or personality of the suspect.

In Alabama you are only allowed to do a fingerprint-based search so you got to have it taken at your local law enforcement unit for $25, payable through a certified check or money order to the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center. Then you must secure a copy of the official records application form, fill it out completely and submit with the corresponding amount as an admin fee. The whole process should be simple to go through; you only have to follow every step of the way. Normally, the turn-around time would take 5 to 10 working days before you get the results of your request.

To make is more feasible for the local residents to perform the request today, State officials have authorized the local law enforcement units to release copies of police reports to anybody who is eligible to place an application. By doing so, the job to supply everyone with legal documents should become lighter this time since they no longer do it in one place like before when they had to accommodate all the requests at the State's main records repository. Moreover, both the state and county records offices have maintained a records website where the public can just search for the said type of files. So, the task becomes real easy even more because it can be done online to save a lot of your time and effort.

There is even more good news these days that come with the emergence of computers and the Internet. The local police records are now uploaded on some reputable private websites for free and others for a corresponding payment. The paid version sounds a lot better for it means it is professionally designed to satisfy people's need. However, beware of the scammers for they could just get your money without having the data which you asked for. Thus, you have to scout the right Internet records provider to be able to generate just the information you are looking for.
