How do we find out if our neighbor has been arrested recently?

Check the crime map for your area. There are free online inmate lists depending on the law enforcement agency and whether they put it online.

Where do I find my court date?

Individual courts throughout Indiana put their case calendar online for public view. Without mentioning the county where the trial would be, there's no specific site to refer you to. Marion county, which has Indianapolis in its jurisdiction, have calendars online through their court website.

How to find active arrest warrants?

Which county or city was the warrant from? You can enter the county or city name, then warrants, some areas have them online like Allen county

I would Like to find dates and reasons for past arrests?

Beware of using background checks when you're looking for a specific arrest record, as many only include records of convictions, criminal courts etc. Arrests reports, similar to incident or accident reports, are obtained from the law enforcement department which created the report. The Indiana state police offers a limited criminal history search, and claims on its site to only have felonies and class A misdemeanor arrest records. If you're searching for the report, try going to the police or sheriffs department directly, or their site and see about getting the reports yourself. Usually, the defense attorney also has a copy. Not sure how public the arrest reports are, departments throughout the state seem to have restrictions as who can request them.

I'm wanting to know how many arrests I had over the years?

You can request your own arrest reports directly from police records services. It’s likely that they have a website and information with forms on where and how to put in the request. Some departments provide them to the person for free. Also, the defense attorneys will usually have a copy. Generally, background checks or criminal history search or any variety that says the same thing, will provide records of convictions, not solely arrests. However, the Indiana state police's criminal history search page states the following: "contains only felonies and class A misdemeanor arrests within the state of Indiana". This searches the entire state according to the ISP's site.

Looking for Grandmothers arrest records around 1945-1950 or newspaper article about story. Where is the best place to find this information?

Periodicals of the local area are generally kept by public libraries, you can access news on micro-fish or digitized and go even further back. A better question next is how far back does the police department which made the arrest go back in time.

How can I get a copy of my accident report from isp?

Where can you find free public records?

There are millions of records scattered throughout various agencies, departments, websites, some free, some have small fees, others with larger ones. The short answer is, "all over". Start with a category or the type of record you're looking for, then look to see if it is public record or not. There are both free public records using the resources here as well as some where the government agency asks for a fee, so all public records are not free, just because they're public records. However, the fee imposed on the public can't be unjustly excessive.

Open-Public-Records.com (Staff)
How do I find out if someone had a court date for owi?

You can be your own investigator by going through past criminal court filings using online case search databases that are also free. You can find individual county courts using the link to the state's courts above. Once you're in Indiana's courts home page, click on the link in the menu on the left titled Trial Courts and Clerks.

I've called everywhere for a record from 1984 of my Dad being shot, cannot find anywhere?

Have you tried going to the town he got shot in, going up to police station and telling them you want a police report?? I know here they will do it and it will go back far, but it takes time and you have to pay like 10 or 15.00 for it. Can get help at library. Should be able to get news from papers.
