Criminal Records California Free Database Available Online

By Ben Kingsley


California is a place that has a large population. That is one reason why it is extremely difficult for those in law enforcement agencies to guard the safety and security of the people. Fortunately, CA Criminal Records have been made available to the public, by the Department of Justice, to hopefully decrease the chances of the people of getting victimized by law offenders.

Criminal records are consisted of several crime-related records such as police reports, arrest records, in-mate records, traffic violations, and the likes. They are filed at the specific office that has jurisdiction over the crime committed and then forwarded to the state's central repository. People that perform background checks are known to obtain the records because of the valuable pieces of information that they contain.

Criminal files are made available to the general public because they are deemed as part of the public domain. A person may request a copy of his or her own files for examining of the details. If the details are inaccurate, the owner can request to the caretaker of the files to correct them appropriately as soon as possible. If you intend to request copies of criminal files that is not yours, you have to be either the legal representative of the owner or you are a member of a law enforcement agency. If you are not any of the people aforementioned, you need to state your agenda for requesting the files. An example of a valid agenda is that of landlords and employers. They refer to the files to do a background check on possible renters and aspiring job applicants.

To start your search, you should be able to provide at least the name of the person whose records you want to access. It is helpful if you can provide more information because it speeds up the search process. Also, it also increases the chance of finding the specific records, especially for people that have common names. You have to present a fingerprint card along with the request form. The fingerprint card costs $25 and can be obtained at the Local Live Scan site such as a local Police Department.

Another way of obtaining the records is through online service providers. There are those that have the consent of the government to maintain and provide the records to anyone who places a request for them. There are a number of service providers online but not all of them are legit. To make sure that you are getting legit information, conduct a background check first. Find out if past and current customers are satisfied with the kind of service and information they are getting. And if you are not sure where to start your search, find a service provider that allows you to do a nationwide search.

If you want to get more information about Police Arrest Records, you can head to the Local Police Department or County Sheriff's office that made the arrest. An arrest is recorded even if incarceration is not necessary. However, if the arrested person is proven not guilty of crime he or she is being accused of, the record will be sealed away from public access.
