New York Free Criminal Records

By Ben Kingsley


Criminals do not choose their victims or the place where they commit it. Residents of New York can stay safe if they take precautionary measures. One thing that any resident of New York can do is to regularly check on the criminal records New York archives.

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.

Unfortunately, having the document open for public access has made it difficult for those who had a previous record but wishes to change for the better. Since employers prefer those with a clean criminal background, they usually get the last priority when applying for a job. Some do not even get through the first phase of job application. Many have also claimed that they were not treated equally as their promotion also is on the last priority. These people prefer to expunge their criminal records to make their files look clean.

A criminal record in New York would contain details about the crimes an individual has committed. One would find the charges that were filed against the individual together with the sentence that was given. Important dates and places related to the crimes and arrest of the individual are indicated on the file. One would know the personal details of the person involved such as the complete name and aliases used by the individual as well as the birth details. The document also provides a detailed description of the person's physical appearance where one would know if the person has body markings or not.

The office of the Department of Public Safety under the Division of Criminal Justice Services is responsible for keeping all the criminal records of the state. One can visit the said office in order to file the request. The office provides a request form where the basic details of the criminal record being requested has to be provided as well as the personal details of the one who filed the request. The criminal record is only given to the person who owns the file and their immediate family. The files of other people can be obtained if a court order is presented during the search. Mail request is accepted by the state office but this would take days before the results of the search can be delivered. This is why many choose to do the search online.

Doing an online search for a criminal record is faster and convenient. With this, the need to go to any office has been minimized since the search can be done even at the comforts of your own home. Another good thing about conducting the search online is that, there are a lot of websites that even let their users do a search for a criminal arrest records free of any charges.
