New York Arrest Records

By Ben Kingsley


The New York State stands at number 3 on the top ten most populated states of U.S. with an estimate population of 19.4 million people based on the 2013 U.S. Census records. It is perhaps the most well-known state in the whole world as it is a center for worldwide trade and economy. It is also the place where dreams come true. With that, meeting new people can be a chore. It can be interesting and fun though. Finding new friends or even possible lifetime partners can be relatively probable too. Nevertheless, it is really important to carefully know who you're engaging with and who you are going to let in to your life. Hence, doing a background check on an individual you wish to establish rapport with is a good idea. In the state, New York criminal records are kept in the Division of Justice Criminal Services.

The New York State is an open records state which means that anyone can access vital records of people as it is highly emphasized in the state's law that these records, including criminal records, are accessible by any member of the public in need. The chief source of the state's criminal records is the Division of Justice Criminal Services which contains all the state's criminal history fingerprint files used to offer police departments and other accredited agencies throughout the state with criminal records of people who have been arrested, and applicants for employment or licensure purposes.

Moreover, the Criminal Identification Unit, which is a part of the said Division, maintains criminal records for the state plus all fingerprints associated with misdemeanor and felony arrests. All requests for criminal records are fingerprint-based searches to guarantee accurate results. A fee of $61.50 is required which consists of the Division of Criminal Justice Services fee of $50 plus a processing fee of $11.50. Another agency which provides criminal records in the state is the New York State Office of Court Administration which offers a state-wide criminal history record search for a fee of $65.00.

In conducting background checks, you can refer to the New York State Unified Court System which is the agency responsible for overseeing the Office of the Court Administration. This office fulfills demands for criminal background checks in the state. Both agencies aid in facilitating the promotion of law and justice within New York. As stressed in the state's law, criminal records can be obtained by anyone in need, although searches are name-based only. To conduct background checks, the state of New York has hired an outside company called L-1 Identity Solutions since December 2009.

If you want to request for your own criminal records, having an appointment with the L-1 Identity Solutions is a must in order for you to have your fingerprints taken since searches are fingerprint-based. You also have to fill out the request form in its entirety and provide your full name, address, and phone number. If you hope to request for another individual's criminal record, then you have to input in the request form such person's complete name and date of birth. Any sobriquets should be included on your application in case sealed records not linked to your fingerprints may be traced with your request. If your application form has vague and omitted information, it will be rejected. Each sobriquet and each date of birth is reckoned an additional search. When you have already submitted all the requirements, you are to wait seven to ten business days for the processing of your request. The results can be mailed, emailed or picked up.

With Internet as the trend, searching for criminal records can be done online too as it is more efficient and more practical compared to the traditional way. You can actually hire the services of several independent online record providers as they also have an online database which you can access anytime you want. Compared to the traditional method, doing an online search for criminal records is by far the most practical way as these online record providers can provide you the records you want in a matter of minutes instead of the usual seven to ten business days. What more, you don't need to pay for each request you make. What you are only going to pay is a minimal fee and you can already have an unlimited access to their database. With over 19.4 million constituents in New York, it is quite an arduous task to demarcate anyone with a bad record. Thus, checking criminal records is really very essential as it does not only help protect yourself and your loved ones, but also, it is very much useful in the field of business especially when hiring applicants. In business, good relationships between the employers and the employees are very indispensable in creating a productive, profitable and a happy working environment and trust is the major factor in building such relationships. This is where background checks help both entities by verifying the facts and building the level of trust needed for the employers to make hiring decisions with assurance.
