Copies of Criminal History 

It is very important to review your criminal record. You may have to answer questions about your convictions to get a job or housing. If you don’t fill out the forms correctly because you don’t know what is on your record, people may think that you are lying and lying is ground for dismissal. 

Like your credit report, you want to make sure the information is correct. Make sure no one is using your name and make sure there are no issues with family members with the same name.  If you would deny the job or department based on your criminal record, you can ask for a copy of what they received. 

Contact your local Sheriff’s Office or Police Department for specific requirements about obtaining a copy of your history record.
