New York Free Public Criminal Records

By Ben Kingsley


The criminal records New York keeps on its archives are used by the local residents to ensure their safety. One's safety is at risk the moment we step out of our homes, thus, checking on the background of the people around us may deem necessary in today's time.

Residents would look into the criminal history of their neighbors, tutors, caretakers, nannies, friends and even relatives to make sure that they are with people who can be trusted. Employers also check on the background of their people to make sure they only have people worthy of their trust. Employers can then avoid any major problems in the company. Local investigators also use the criminal records of New York when they are handling a criminal case.

Making the document open to the public may have benefitted many but those with a criminal history find it hard to go on with their lives. A lot have testified that they did not get a decent job because of their criminal history. Others claimed that they were not treated equally by their peers and colleagues. One way to avoid being mistreated is to seal off the criminal record and this is the option chosen by the many.

Information about the crimes that an individual has committed is the highlights of the document. A public document would show all of the crimes as well as the charges filed against the individual. One can also see the sentence that the person received for his crimes. The document would not be complete without the personal details of the person involved. This includes the full name and the other names that the person used and the details of his birth. Additional information that can be found on the file includes the description of the person's appearance. One would know if the person has significant markings on his body.

All of the criminal records in the state of New York are archived at the office of the Department of Public Safety under the Division of Criminal Justice Services. Personally going to this office is recommended when requesting for a copy of a criminal arrest record. In order to proceed with the request, one has to provide the basic details of the document being requested and at the same time the personal information of the one who filed the request is also needed. The criminal record is only released if the one who requested it is the person himself or an immediate family. Others would have to secure a special request to access the files of other people. The request can also be sent through mail but this can take a while. If waiting is not an option, the search can be done online.

Criminal arrest records of New York are now available for retrieval through the Internet. This means that one can get it faster and conveniently than any other methods. A lot of websites now offer to do the search for your convenience. Some even allow users to do the search for the arrest records free of service fees.
