Where can I find access to an arrest history on someone?
Arrest history is not the same as a background check. You can order online. Arrests are not necessarily a criminal past without the following conviction. Many are arrested and not convicted of any crime. Therefore many background checks do not offer arrest records as a part of their searches. However, you can see arrest records; much of it depends on the area you are searching. Attorneys and other police departments can request copies of official arrest reports. It is generally considered public records, but there can be restrictions. If you are somehow related to the case, you can probably get a copy. The police department's site will usually give details about how to request the official report.
