City of Newark, Essex County, NJ Public Records

• Where can I find public information on bankruptcy records?
  Bankruptcy records are public; there may be restrictions on private information contained in the filing, excluding personal information. However, you can see whether a person has filed and other details about the filing. You can do a bankruptcy search on the city of Newark free court records search above. Some services will get them for you, but you will be charged. The searches on this page are open to the public freely.
• Where can I find the date and hour of the car accident and the police report?
  Newark's police department's webpage shows you how to obtain incident/traffic reports from its records and communications bureau section. The webpage claims it "collects and classifies all police reports, warrants, traffic records and offense reports" with a contact number for public inquiries. Second, you can check with the Essex county sheriff's department's records webpage. The criminal court's filings are public information unless sealed or other exceptions, but many are offered to the public. The Essex County Veterans Courthouse has criminal records of cases in the Superior Court, which can contain arrest information if not the report itself. Records from 1930 to 1987 are on microfilm. While these records are public, according to their webpage, you will need an appointment—a computer-aided limited access to criminal records at the Veterans courthouse.
• Where should a background check be ordered when the subject of the search has recently relocated to Newark, New Hampshire?
  A primary step in conducting a background check is to find all addresses and residences under that person. If the person has recently relocated to New Hampshire, there are probably few records to be found. There are instances where looking into more than one state may not be avoidable. Another avenue to take is requesting a national criminal search from the FBI background check search, but a restriction of this service is that only the person himself can request the record check. Criminal searches are relatively inexpensive if ordered from the state's law enforcement, costing less than a full background check from state to state. Where should a background check be ordered when the subject of the search has recently relocated to New Hampshire?
