Criminal Record
Checks
(Criminal
records are indexed by name only and no other identifying
characteristics. The person obtaining the record should determine whether
or not the name on the record check is the identity of the person you are
searching.)
If you are doing a background check or needing
information on charges on an individual, you may either obtain that
information from a Clerk of Court's office, or through several Internet
companies that will sell pages of information to you. Each company has
its own set charges.
Please note: If you are checking on an
individual who has already been charged, convicted and sentenced to
prison or probation, you may go the Department of Correction web
site for more information.
If you are checking on an individual who has a
current pending charge, you can obtain the court date and courtroom
online, click District and Superior Court Calendars and follow the instructions.
