Police record checks can reveal a great deal of information about you!

A police record check gives information about past criminal history. Police records checks are legal and can be done online. Of course the regulations regarding police record checks may differ from state to state but in general the access to this information is free.

So what information is contained in a police record? In general a police record contains all information about someone's past dealings with the police. By all we really mean all- even if you were not on the wrong side of the law, any interference with the police will be recorded in the police record. Things like traffic violations and accidents, public offence, domestic accidents, etc. all go straight into your police record.

How to perform police record checks?

If you are curious what your police record has to say, why don't you check your own police record? You may be surprised of the amount of information that is stored there. To do so you need to log in a public record database and type your name in the search box. The results will be on your screen a few seconds later.

Getting self police record checks is a good way to be prepared. You can be sure that your future employer will do the same (if you are changing your job); you can also be sure that all of your neighbors already have checked you; even your partner may be read your police record.
