Statewide Criminal Search
EBI conducts felony and misdemeanor searches of state criminal records at each applicable state central repository.
What does this service provide?
Many states maintain a central criminal history record repository that receives case-processing information contributed by law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, courts and corrections agencies throughout the state. Information held within these repositories are made available to criminal justice personnel, and, in some states, non-criminal justice agencies that are authorized by law to obtain the records for purposes such as employment screening and occupational licensing. EBI searches the applicable repository when statewide criminal searches are requested by the client.
All statewide searches are not created equal; some states do not provide a state database and many others only store limited information from reporting counties. Surprisingly, some states do not maintain up-to-date and accurate information. EBI will guide you in the proper use of statewide searches and provide additional information regarding the accuracy and timeliness of each.
