• Where can I find a copy of an arrest record from the mid-1960s at the Criminal Justice Information Center?
  The Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center (ACJIC) was established in 1975, meaning it does not maintain records from before that year. For arrest records from the mid-1960s, you will need to contact the specific law enforcement agency that made the arrest, as they are responsible for maintaining those records. It's important to note that arrest records do not always indicate a conviction; background checks typically focus on individuals with convictions. If you are seeking a more comprehensive report, such as a rap sheet, which includes records of arrests and prosecutions, this information is usually accessible to law enforcement agencies and certain authorized individuals, such as attorneys involved in related cases. For more information, you can visit the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency's website at https://www.alea.gov.

• How can an individual or sole proprietor operating a company obtain an official background check?
  To obtain an official background check, individuals or sole proprietors can utilize various resources depending on their needs. Criminal records are a crucial component of background checks, especially for pre-employment screening or when hiring contractors and service providers. In addition to criminal records, driving records and professional license verifications may also be necessary, depending on the nature of the business. In Alabama, individuals can access background checks through the Alabama Background Check System (ABC), which provides a statewide search for criminal history. This system is designed for current and prospective employees. Additionally, the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center offers resources for the general public to request criminal history information, whether for themselves or others. For local background checks, individuals can contact local law enforcement agencies, such as police departments, which often provide access to records of local offenses, including felonies and misdemeanors. It is important to note that different agencies may have varying definitions of what constitutes an "official" background check. For more information on obtaining background checks in Alabama, you can visit the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency's website.
