Indiana Arrest Records Available Online

By Ben Kingsley


Bad people are everywhere and there is no telling what bad deed they are planning on doing next. Crimes occur at an alarming rate even though police and other arresting personnel are scattered around to watch over the peace and order. The government decided to give the public the right to access state criminal files so that citizens will be informed of the background of certain people in their environment. This is true in all states including in Indiana. Indiana Criminal Records are popular amongst employers, landlords, or ordinary citizens because of the amount of useful information it contains.

Accessing criminal documents is popular amongst people that run background checks on individuals because they are composed of several other documents such as police reports, arrest files, traffic infractions, and many more. That means that there are more than enough useful pieces of information from it that could be valuable for background checks. For starters, you have to know at least the name of the offender whose documents you want to retrieve. If he happens to have a common name, you can provide addition information so that the search category can be filtered down further and increase the possibility of locating the correct documents. You can include pieces of information such as the offenders' birthday, home address, nature of work, and more.

Requesting your own criminal documents is permitted by the government. Just like requesting the document of other people, you also have to place a forma l request to access your own criminal documents. This is encouraged so that you can check if the details included on your documents are true and accurate. If you find anything that you think is neither true nor accurate, you can request to the appropriate office to either correct them or delete them. If for example you are proven innocent of the case filed against you, your documents will be kept away from the public to protect your reputation.

To place a formal request, you have to complete the appropriate form which can be downloaded from the official website of the Indiana Police Department. Once you have completed the form, you can send it to the department along with corresponding payments. Payments are paid either by a certified check or by money order. The return period for criminal files requests usually take a couple of weeks so be ready to wait. If it so happens that the file you requested for is being used for a case that is still being investigated, it is possible that the department will not grant you access to them.

You can obtain criminal documents from other sources aside from public offices. There a number of privately-owned websites that are legally allowed by the government to provide the documents to whoever submits a formal request. It is essential that you do a history check on the websites to find out if they are known providers of factual information. Check on the comments of other users and see whether they are positive or negative.

It is difficult to search for Criminal Records if you do not know which specific state or agency is in-charge of maintaining them. Look for search tools that will let you conduct a nationwide search so you will not waste too much time. Bear in mind that there are search tools that will provide you free access to the files but some will charge you with a certain fee.
