Q: applying to work at casinos? | | by tad |
|
A:Although different companies use various background check companies, they’re basically looking for the same information. Most background checks look up criminal records. Credit, driving records and so forth are additional searches by the employer. Even when an applicant knows what their history is, many still want to see what the employer can obtain. Therefore, before applying, prospective employees will conduct a search on themselves. It also helps with deciding what to disclose. Criminal records in other states may not appear if it’s a state search only. Nationwide searches can be conducted also, one example is when an individual is purchasing a firearm. Since casinos are regulated, these background checks tend to be mandatory. The state imposes this step prior to employers acquiring new personnel. So, the state itself may disclose which background or type of search to conduct coinciding with their regulations. The majority of states offer a criminal history check through their law enforcement agency, such as the state police. The prospective applicant has the advantage of already knowing where (city, county, state or federal) the criminal records may appear and thereafter look into that area only. The state of New Mexico offers several searches that also includes a letter of good standing here http://www.dps.nm.org/index.php/criminal-history-records/.

Q: property records location
| | by dk |
|
A:In Alabama, county recorders provide various documents to the public. Deed information can be requested from the county’s official site. All counties however do not provide the same easy service in obtaining the property records and have yet to implement a viable public source to the documents. Recorder’s offices fall under the probate court, so when looking for deeds, the link to the probate court will probably mention how to obtain property records.

Q: How to get criminal records Middletown Delaware | | by Bill |
|
A:If a state wide background check will do this link http://dsp.delaware.gov/StateBureauofIdentification.shtml will take you to the Delaware State Bureau of Identification (SBI). The town itself has a police department but the resources to request background checks are not available. This is also true with a lot of other smaller departments, the link or a way to request records doesn't just jump out, but there will usually be a link to their forms or downloads. Within these downloads, there may be a public record request form. Another approach is by seeing whether the county's law enforcement agency, in this case the New Castle County, Delaware Sheriffs department.

Q: Property ownership information Broome New York | | by bu |
|
A:Broome County Clerk's Public Search System http://www.gobcclerk.com/ allows open searches of documents online at a relatively low cost. An individual can also visit the physical location and browse through their records. The fees may be less or none, but copies are going to have costs. There's a link on the county clerk's website to all counties in New York. If you're not familiar with public records, the clerk's home page what is available for retrieval and what is confidential. Many records are public and open to requests, but there are also protections by privacy and confidentiality laws that prevents an 'anything and all information is open' approach. This may be due to identity thefts and how easy it is to obtain damaging information with the technology that is available. Record retrieval sources must deal with new and upcoming technology also. There are still two sides to the discussion between whether privacy and confidentiality is being misused to not provide information to the public.

Q: where can i go online for FREE background information? Kentucky | | by doodle |
|
A:That is a search in itself, but there are easy ways of doing it. The term 'nothing's free' is also true with public records. Since it costs to record, maintain and provide, fess are imposed to cover those costs. Who else is going to pay for it? However, some records are free by coincidence. Court records are a good example. In some venues, it is easier for the department to put the information/cases online rather than to provide it to each individual requestor and charge, such as court calendars, case information and so forth. The department of corrections has free searches of their inmates in custody, released or awaiting release. Some counties will provide property information with a public access to their recorded documents databases. With enough research, free records can be found. It can be made easier by using a public record site that will list as many free sources found. Once again, not all the records are going to be free.

Q: How do I find marriage records / divorce records from around 1940 in OKC | | by Alan Smith |
|
A:A record this far back in history is usually archived and would be most likely not found from the county clerk. There may be fees associated with obtaining detailed information about ancestry, however, some services offer small bits of information such as just the complete date and name of other party in the divorce for example. This is for verification that you are requesting the record on the right person before placing the order. You get the verification free and then most likely pay for the rest of the information. Another approach would be the local periodicals of that time. These are held at the library local to the area. Many of the services from the library are outlined online without having to visit their physical location.

Q: what is the homlessness population in the city | | by Tammie |
|
A:It would be interesting to see how this information would be gathered. Who is considered homeless? This can be persons displaced from the downturn staying with family or friends, which can be very high in some areas only in bad economies. Looking at how any organization/entity comes up with that statistic would be just as important as the number itself. Many areas have changed drastically since 2007 as the economy has affected various cities differently.

|
Q: Are the firearm background checks the same as a regular employment background check? | | by flo |
|
A:You can request an FBI search on yourself before going. Federal searches are central depository of criminal history records which depend on all law enforcement agencies participating. This includes state, county and federal level records altogether.
|
A:Is there a way to check what is on the NICS report prior to going in and purchasing a firearm?
|
A:The National Instant Criminal Background Check System, NICS is the search performed for firearm purchases. There is more than one background check offered by the FBI. The pre-employment check is based on the fingerprints while the firearms check is based on an individual's identification information. The pre employment check can only be requested by the person the report is based on. Simply put, you can only perform a check on yourself.
|
A:When trying to decide between a statewide or a national background check, a people finders search can initially tell you if the individual you're requesting a check on has lived other places outside of the state. A nationwide search does not necessarily cost more, but there are restrictions where some states have better open records laws.
|
A:The objectives are the same, but not all searches are the same. The background check report may not contain all the information from the criminal case.
|
A:Although the service used mostly relies on the firm requesting it, they're mostly statewide as opposed to being nationwide. There are guidelines and a wait time for the background checks, so some entities opt to use private sources. The expense is a little higher but many companies feel that it is worth it.

|
A:Group directories in many instances contain information to contact the members. There are many local organizations in most areas/communities. Chances are not great in locating a person through various organizations, however, if they have a specific interest, chances are better. It is a search that can be done freely online just in case the person is a member of a group.

Q: Need to find a friends dui charges,gees,and probation. | | by Lib |
|
A:Some of the information is found on police reports and some others can be obtained from court records and other places. To see how to obtain police or sheriff reports, you can visit their website and look up the procedures or forms necessary. Court records can be obtained several ways. Some probation information can be viewed with a department of corrections inmate search where the status may appear such as presently incarcerated or released and on probation. If the person is on probation, chances are they're in the system and will appear in a regular background check which are generally of persons with convictions as opposed to charges alone.

Q: What is going to happen to the background checks bill now that it didn’t pass? | | by nate |
|
A:Sen. Joe Manchin, of West Virginia said that he would revive the legislation. But the method in which it will be passed may be through the voters as legislatures have struck it down already. Advocates of the bill believe that when the bill is put up for the public to vote, the result will be different. The theory is that lobbyists do not have the same influence over individual voters as they do with lawmakers. The claim is that most people agree with the law but are not organized as is the opposition.

Q: How do I check if a past criminal offense is still accessible? | | by ari |
|
A:The Taylor county sheriffs office here http://www.taylorcountytexas.org/index.aspx?NID=265 offers free criminal history reports. Only records within the county are searched. Crime mapping, a public service from police departments, can reveal where the crime occurred and which agency made arrest. If it is in Taylor county, a request of past criminal history can be made directly from the agency. The request must be made in writing, but it can be mailed or faxed if walking in is not feasible.

Q: where can i look for an ex inmate from calipatria State prison | | by anonymous |
|
A:The current inmates are listed here http://inmatelocator.cdcr.ca.gov/default.aspx, however, if the inmate has been released, a people finders search can be conducted to look up residences. Depending on the type of information that is being sought, since the person has a record, a background check and/or criminal court case search would reveal certain details. The search of the DOC is statewide, but the court records are generally in county, so a people finder search may have to be conducted regardless.

Q: marriage and divorce records for paul house. (Floyd county, Georgia) | | by t. |
|
A:Vital records (birth, death, marriage and divorces) can be requested here http://health.state.ga.us/programs/vitalrecords/index.asp. Generally, there will be fees imposed by which ever service is used. The State Office of Vital Records provides records for the entire state, saving you from having to look from county to county. There are four ways in which you can obtain marriage and divorce records, online, walking in, via mail or calling. There are other ways such as looking up court records that may be better depending on circumstances, but once again, you may faced with having to select a specific county. You may not be able to get the divorce if it happened after 1996 from the same source, but you can see the index of divorce events from 1952 to the present. Marriages are available from 1952 to present.

Q: If records are public and free why isnt anything in this state ...free or public on line....you cant get any info anywhere on line for delaware | | by dee dee |
|
A:Public record laws make the records available for retrieval, that's all. They do not guarantee whether they're online or to make it easy as long as they can somehow be obtained. The fees can't be unreasonably excessive, but that's about the extent of it. Some states have more records available than others, some counties and so forth. Public records can also have restrictions and guidelines as to how and when they're available. Most of the records come from public entities, which charge for providing records. Some private companies offer services that make it easier to get them. If the agency is not providing a particular record online for example, a private company can the gather the information on their own and then charge for their work. This is common with Florida vital records, where a private company on behalf of the state is supplying records online. Even when you walk into the physical location, a fee can be imposed. Maintaining and providing records costs the department, so if their budget does not cover it, they will charge a fee. The larger states will have better resources for the public since the requests are more frequent. Public record sites will tell you where the records can be obtained, can offer more choices and the originating source, which is helpful If you're not familiar with which department to go to for a particular record. If you're looking for arrest information, most will think of getting a background check. Background checks generally comprise of convictions and not arrests. Arrests can be viewed online freely through the law enforcements jail/detention division's site which can be found on public record sites. Once again, not all agencies offer that online, so you have to rely on the source to be available from that particular agency. The Department of Corrections in most cases offer an online search free to the public, you can find out about it here http://www.doc.delaware.gov/services/offenderLocate.shtml. Many records are not online and readily available, so comprehensive research is necessary, basically it takes work.

Q: Public view of inmate photos, Santa Clara, CA | | by blgr |
|
A:In many cases the law enforcement department will have a detention center/jail facility. The departments in charge of the detention center will sometimes have an online search of their inmates in custody or even recently released individuals. That’s is not always the case as the Santa Clara county sheriffs website does not presently seem to have such a query online. This link to the Santa Clara booking information online may be a helpful place to start but you will need either the name and date of birth or booking date http://eservices.sccgov.org/ovr/find_inmate.do
