By Ben Kingsley


Criminals have different styles of carrying out their unlawful ploys against other people. Fortunately, with the help of Police Records Arizona, civilians are better informed of who they should stay away from. It is the task of the state's Department of Public Safety to store the documents and to entertain requests.

A police record is created even when an arrest is not executed or imprisonment is not necessary. It is a standard operating procedure of law enforcers that need to be done if an individual encounters some trouble with the law. Police records reveal the full name of an offender, the offense committed, and the place where the offense occurred. It also includes details of the physical attributes of the offender such as the height, weight, skin color, and birthmarks, to name a few. It is legal to request for your own police records so you can check for any false information that might exist on your record. If you find any, you can file for a formal request to correct them so your reputation will not suffer further damage. If you are not proven guilty of the crime charged against you, you can request that the records be expunged.

Police records are considered public records, however, in Arizona, only law enforcers and approved employers are allowed to view or request police records of other people. Law enforcers are given access if it is necessary for an investigation. Employers, on the other hand, are given access so that they can carry out a background check on their existing employees and job applicants.

The Department of Public Safety entertains formal requests for the documents. A request form can be obtained from their office or downloaded from their official website. All required particulars of the form should be supplied before you submit it to the department. A fingerprint-based search is the only kind of search you can do at the department. It requires you to present a fingerprint card, obtainable at a local police department, along with the request form. The department will not charge you anything for requesting your own documents but you will have to pay for getting the fingerprint card.

Another way of obtaining the files is through online search tools that are legally supplying police files to whoever requests for them. If you a computer nearby, and a connection to the Web, you can instantly start searching online. There are two types of such search tools: free and fee-based. But before you commence your search, check first if the one you are about to use has a reputation of providing legit information. Also make sure that you know the full name of the person whose records you want to obtain. Input that person's name on the search box of the search tool, click search, and before you know it, you are looking right at the search results.

The Department of Public Safety is the central repository of all police files and other crime-related files which are later jointly known as criminal files. Local Police Departments and County Sheriff's Offices initially file Local Police Records. They are also responsible of forwarding it to the Department of Public Safety.
