If you intend to obtain New York Arrest Records, you can get them at the New York Department of Corrections. The agency is the office assigned to maintain arrest documents and also offer them, since they are deemed part of public documents, to citizens who places a request for them. To begin a search, secure the proper request form at the department or download it from their official website, and fill it out with the required details. Make sure that the details that you provide are up to date because it is critical for the search results. You should be able to at least provide the full name of the person whose documents you want to get to get a search on the way. There are fees that you need to pay for every request that you place. They are payable by money order or a certified check and you will not be given a refund even if the documents you requested for are not found.

Every arrest is immediately recorded even if the imprisonment of the arrested person is still uncertain. Some of the facts that can be found on an arrest file are the name of the offender, nature of offense, when and where the offense was committed, who made the arrest, and more. If the person is found guilty of the offense he or she is accused of, his or her files will become permanent and will later on become available for public access. If he or she is proven innocent, the file will remain in the hands of the arresting office but away from public access.

It is allowed to access your own arrest record, if you have any. When you go over your own record and find any inaccuracy in it, you can call the attention of the custodian of the record and request that it be looked at so that the proper corrections can be made. If you want to access the records of other people, you will have to be a member of the law enforcement, a legal representative, an employer, or a landlord, to name a few. The extent of access that will be granted will depend on the reason for wanting to get the record.

There are guidelines that need to be followed in terms of how the files can be used. The court acknowledges the files as a supporting document for a legal proceeding. It can also be used as a means of getting valuable information when performing history checks. It is strictly prohibited to use them to defame, harass, embarrass, or blackmail others. Anyone caught not following these guidelines shall be penalized accordingly by law.

Arrest records can also be obtained from online service providers. There are those that are authorized to maintain and provide the records to the public. However, not all of the service providers that you will find on the Internet are legit. Conduct a background check on them first and gather as much information as you can about them until you are convinced that they are legit.

You can also initiate a search for Criminal Records Free To Public. There are websites that will allow you to do a free search for arrest documents. But in case you do not find any, you can head to the state archives and try looking for the documents there. You will most probably get the basic details of the documents if you are doing a free search.
