Indiana Criminal Records Free List Online

By Ben Kingsley


There are a lot of criminals roaming freely on the streets. Despite the presence of law enforcers, they still find ways to push through with their evil plans. In an attempt to increase security, states - including Indiana- made it legal for any member of the general public to request access to a criminal record. Having access to Indiana Criminal Records keeps the citizens informed as to whom they should not associate themselves with. Employers, landlords, or ordinary citizens can get some useful information from the records.

The records come in handy for doing background checks on certain people. It contains a lot of valuable pieces of information because it is a compilation of several different records such as police reports, arrest records, traffic violations, etc. In order for you to start a search, you have to know the full name of the person whose records you want to find. Whether you are doing an online or offline search, providing a full name is important. However, there are some cases where a person has common name. In cases like this, the search will reveal a broad list of results. To narrow down the results, you have to be able to provide additional pieces of information about the owner of the records like the address, a birthday, an occupation and the likes.

If you want to check on the details included in your own criminal file, you can do so by placing a formal request to the appropriate office. Some details may not be true as of date or they might not be based on facts. If find such details, you can appeal to the appropriate office to correct the file as soon as possible. If you have a criminal file but are proven innocent of the crime charge against you, your file can be sealed away from the public upon request.

Visit the webpage of the Indiana Police Department and look for the downloadable request form. Provide the required details on the form and submit it to the department. There are corresponding fees for every request and it should go along with the completed request form. You can only pay the fees through money order or by a certified check. It usually takes a couple of weeks to process your request so be prepared to wait. Also, keep in mind that if the documents you requested for is being used in an active case, you might not be given access to them.

If you want to look for other ways to obtain the records, you can look for various service providers online. There are several service providers that have the authorization from the court to provide the records to the public, upon request. However, be careful in choosing which one to use because bogus service providers exist. Determine the credibility of a service provider by making a quick background check. Find out about what other users are saying about them and their service.

It is difficult to search for Criminal Records if you do not know which specific state or agency is in-charge of maintaining them. Look for search tools that will let you conduct a nationwide search so you will not waste too much time. Bear in mind that there are search tools that will provide you free access to the files but some will charge you with a certain fee.
