Indiana Public Criminal Records

By Ben Kingsley


Bad people are everywhere and there is no telling what bad deed they are planning on doing next. Crimes occur at an alarming rate even though police and other arresting personnel are scattered around to watch over the peace and order. The government decided to give the public the right to access state criminal files so that citizens will be informed of the background of certain people in their environment. This is true in all states including in Indiana. Indiana Criminal Records are popular amongst employers, landlords, or ordinary citizens because of the amount of useful information it contains.

Criminal files are widely requested by people who run background checks on other people because it is a compilation of various records which includes police reports, arrest records, traffic violations, and many several others. If you want to commence a search, whether online or offline, it is vital that you know the full name of the offender whose files you want to access. If the name is widely used, you can trim down the search category by providing additional information that you know about the offender such as a home address, the date of birth, and nature of job amongst others.

You may access your own records, if you have any. This is allowed by the government so that people with a criminal record can check if the details are accurate and true. Having a criminal record under your name is bad enough, and if it contains false information, it will only make it worse. If you see any inaccuracies or mistakes, you can request to either correct them or delete them. And if you are lucky enough to be proven not guilty of the case charged against you, you can request to expunge your records.

The Indiana Police Department maintains an online database. You can download a request form from their website and then fill it out with the required information. Submit the completed form back to the department with the corresponding fee which is payable by money order or a certified check. Once your request gets accepted, wait for a couple of weeks to get the record you requested for. Keep in mind that if a record is of a case that is still under investigation, it may not be available for access yet because it might influence the outcome of the investigation.

You can obtain criminal documents from other sources aside from public offices. There a number of privately-owned websites that are legally allowed by the government to provide the documents to whoever submits a formal request. It is essential that you do a history check on the websites to find out if they are known providers of factual information. Check on the comments of other users and see whether they are positive or negative.

You can also find service providers that will allow you to perform a nationwide search for Criminal Records. This will save you time in looking for the exact state or office that has the records you are looking for. Some may require you to pay a certain amount for the retrieval process while some will not charge you a cent.
