Conduct a criminal history search on all principles. Records are kept on several levels and each entity and jurisdiction is unique as to access or availability, coverage, and how the records are indexed. County court records are the most in-depth of all criminal records. Department of Corrections (DOC) databases provide information on inmates both current and past. The Federal Prison System has information on those who have committed a federal crime. Include a search of sexual offender databases.
Important: criminal records are indexed by name and date of birth. This information is often misrepresented by people who are attempting to make it difficult to connect them to a record. Search databases by inputting all variations and aliases.
The OFAC's Patriot Act Search Database, made available a watch list, a combination of national and international databases.
Criminal Databases
There is no national government criminal database available to the public. Proprietary criminal databases are assembled and owned by Information Brokers. Records are obtained from a variety of sources.
