According to Crime in the United States by the Department of Justice, the Rate of Arrests in 2006 nationwide was almost 5% and that's not even taking into account arrests resulting from traffic violations. That's an increase across the board for all major categories of violation such as violent, property and drugs, from the year before and bodes very poorly for 2007, the current year and beyond. An arrest can be seen as serving basically two purposes. It stops a perceived violation of the law on the spot. It also holds the arrestee in custody for due judicial proceeding and disposition. While doing so, it not only prevents further extent of the offense but also presumably isolates the bad apple from its barrel. This rationale is not Rocket Science and is in practice across all civilized societies, with the task most commonly charged to the Police. Police enter all their interaction with the public into the respective records of the concerned parties. It is estimated that 30% of Americans will have some form of police record in their lifetime. In normal practice, a Police Report will be generated soon after an arrest has been carried out. It is then forwarded to the assigned Prosecutor for further judiciary process and will be permanently lodged into the Police Arrest Records of the subject. Police Arrest Records is an official reflection of someone's civil character and background. The best Police Arrest Records to have is no record. However, if there had been any, a search will uncover complete details of the arrestee's personal particulars and the surrounding information to the arrest. Multiple arrests are not uncommon and they will all show up if they happened within the jurisdiction for which the search was conducted. Although there may be restrictions on the accessibility and use of Public Arrest Reports under exceptional circumstances, they are Public Records nevertheless. As such, they are mandated by law to be made available to anyone who may wish to retrieve them and can be requested directly from the local Police Department where the subject resides or at any of the public offices assigned with the function. The Police Force comes under state jurisdiction and Police Arrest Records are structured in accordance with that. As such, there are variations in regard to the treatment of Police Arrest Records from state to state. On top of that, the databases of the respective state-level repositories are not linked. That means a no-record-found covers only the state for which the search is conducted. It is reasonable to speculate that the FBI has a federal Police Arrest Record database but it is not likely to be publicly accessible in view of security reasons. Another way of retrieving Police Arrest Records is through commercial record providers. They are found in abundance on the internet. Although their version is fee-based, it is being increasingly preferred to the government offices. Beside sparing you the fuss and hassle, waiting time and insulating you of legality issues, they also have the means to tap into private and proprietary networks along with public sources.
