Providence, RI Public Records

• Where can I find out how to judge if a background check is comprehensive?
  There are two methods by which a person can check to see if the background check is doing what it claims to do. The first issue to consider is that most people are unfamiliar with what is searched by the report service. Assuming that you have read, the problem seems to be that you don't believe the results are what they should be. One method is to order the check from another source; in Rhode Island, you can check; it's free and instant; all you need is a name and the state's attorney general's office's services to see if anything comes up that did not in the report in question. The other method is to go and retrieve the record yourself from the agency. For example, if you believe a court case did not appear, you can request the record directly from the courthouse and obtain copies. If you are strictly looking for just one type of record, your best approach may be to visit the agency custodian of the information. Agencies tend to have the personnel for public record requests.
