  • Where can I find in New York, if I am having difficulty finding work, because of my criminal record?
    Arrests alone shouldn’t appear on general background checks which search criminal court records. Arrests do not always result in convictions, charges, going to court or having any other records thereafter. Arrest reports are often requested by a defense attorney, DA’s office, or others related to the case. To see what it takes to obtain an arrest report, you can simply go to the arresting department’s website and see the policy/qualifications followed for their request. You can conduct a search of yourself using the same background check source employers are likely to use. The state of New York lets you conduct a criminal background check through their Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS). You can request a "personal record review" which will show dismissed cases, violations or infractions, substance abuse convictions, youthful offender adjudications and more. This search shows what is out there more than your average background check used by employers. You can read more about it to find out what others can view by viewing the state's website's Personal Record Review Program page. However, this is usually true using background check services, there are other ways of looking up arrests that are out there online. Some sites freely show arrests they have obtained from jail rosters from many law enforcement agencies, including local departments. As individual law enforcement agencies show arrestees in efforts to help the public, private sites will pick up that information and republish it on their own sites. This makes finding the record easier for someone not as savvy with online searches or one that will access the police site directly. The same can go for newspapers which list the most recent arrests. These arrests can remain searchable for as long as the publication can be viewed.

  • Where can I find if James Hill SR. is living in Brooklyn, New York or in Queens, New York?
    With a name that common, you will need to do a bit of work even before beginning a search. With a common name alone you will get many others with the same name. Including Sr. in the search can help tremendously, but will only be effective if you do the search manually. This means you will enter information first and view what comes up with Sr. If you begin your search with Sr., your results may omit the very person you're looking for as many times Sr. is not used. Begin the search using the name and location and see what comes up. The automatic people search results will reveal a list of results that can include keywords such as Brooklyn NY, or Queens. Knowing relatives names helps as people search results list family member names also. Most of this is aimed to narrow the search in order to get records of the intended person, from there, with more identification you have an easier time looking up information and records.
