How to Conduct an Arrest Warrant Search
Topic: Arrest Warrant
Conducting arrest records or warrant searches can be essential

How well do you know the people around your neighborhood, or the driver of your bus, the babysitter, your financial advisor or the handyman who is repairing your boiler? You might not want to think about it but these people could have arrest records. It might be for something minor, but it might be for something that you can't imagine.

It's necessary now more than it has ever been, to perform arrest records searches to find out as much as you can about the people you and your family comes into contact with. If they have an arrest record wouldn't you want to know about it and what it's for?

An arrest warrant doesn't mean that they have a conviction

Don't forget that an arrest record isn't the same as a conviction for a crime, but even so, it's still good to know if someone has been arrested as a suspect in a crime or as someone who might have been involved in some sort of criminal activity.

It's not as hard as you think to find out if someone has an arrest warrant or record. An arrest records search is something that you can easily do by yourself, or that you can have a service do for you. Arrest records are a matter of public record so anyone has access to them and that includes you.

You can make a request at your local, county, state or other law enforcement agency for arrest records on a person. You can also do searches online to find out if someone has an arrest warrant or record.

It isn't difficult to do these, but each agency has its own system and criteria for what information you must give them and how to provide it to them so that they can do a search. You can usually find out by visiting the agency's web site.

If you do an online arrest records search, you may find a lot of interesting information, or only a little. This depends on a lot of factors, and if the person you're investigating does not have an arrest record then nothing will be found.

Use an online public records service

Another way to do it is to use the services of a company that specializes in public records searches. This could be anything from criminal records to employment records. Some services concentrate on arrest and criminal records more than other records, and others are more diversified in their database.

Whichever method you use, a service such as this has the potential to make your job a lot easier because they know where to get the records from and they can organize them in an easily searchable form. These services may be free or may be fee-based services. You get what you pay for most of the time.

The method that you use to collect information, either on your own by doing arrest records searches yourself, or getting a service do it for you is entirely up to you. The point of the exercise is to make sure that the people that you bring into your home or to have access to your private records, or to your children or your property, are not criminals and haven't been involved in any criminal activities.

Don't forget that just being arrested doesn't mean they have been convicted or locked up, but an arrest record is something you should know about. If for no other reason so that you can give the person a fair chance to explain before you end your friendship or association with him or her, based on what you find in your arrest warrant search.
