Tips and Help: Should I Search by County or Statewide?

• County criminal searches provide the most up-to-date information available and counties often take some time to report their records to the state.
• County criminal searches may be best if you are sure the county where the individual lived or if you think there has been recent litigation.
• Statewide searches are best individuals that have lived in several counties.
• Statewide searches are best if you are not sure of which county to search.
• Statewide searches have a much wider geographic focus.
