Premier’s criminal history check searches public records available from any of the 3300+ county courthouses in the United States along with 42 statewide repositories and Washington D.C. (for statewide searches) providing both felony and/or misdemeanor access. The search is conducted in the individual county courts where the applicant resides and/or works, or as requested by the client.

Premier Employment Screening Services suggests conducting a seven-year criminal history search of current and previous addresses of residence, work locations and/or places of education. Criminal history information is linked to a person’s name and therefore, it is also important to search criminal history for any other name(s) the applicant may have used in the past seven years.  Request More Info

Premier provides varying levels of criminal history checks including:

County court record checks are the most comprehensive source of information for criminal activity. Our nationwide network of court researchers physically go into the courthouse to ensure our clients are provided with the most up-to-date and accurate information. They provide results related to the criminal charges, dates, sentencing and disposition, for felonies and/or misdemeanors in the county seat court of the requested jurisdiction. Detailed dockets and supporting information are also available.

Metro area searches which are a compilation of county level searches located in metropolitan areas. They can be created as a way of checking criminal history where residency and employment may extend beyond a single county.

Statewide repositories for each state vary in detail and scope of information available. Data may reflect arrest information obtained by police departments, county cases forwarded from local courts, or other criminal data housed by the state. Premier Employment Screening Services offers a preferred state list to assist our clients in determining whether to conduct a statewide or county search.

Federal district search results that provide information on criminal activity that occurred outside state or local jurisdiction and were prosecuted at the district court level. Examples of criminal activity include kidnapping, drug trafficking, interstate transportation of stolen goods, bank robbery, and embezzlement. Military related crimes are also found in a federal court search.
