County and Statewide Criminal Searched with Bradley Screening

County Criminal Search

This search includes an examination of the Predominantly Used Index (1) in the Central Court (1) for the jurisdiction requested, returning all Available Records (1) within a minimum of a seven-year scope. County Criminal search services are available in all 3,141 counties in all 50 states. Bradley employs a multi-layered quality control process which ensures that found records are reviewed by at least two different research professionals prior to being approved for return, as well as other proprietary steps designed to increase reporting accuracy and consistency.

Customized Proofing Catered to You

Customized proofing levels are available to post-filter results to more closely match your final requirements. For example, you can specify that traffic infractions be excluded from our final report, or that case identifiers failing to meet your specified parameters not be reported. This brings our report more in line with your final reporting requirements and reduces your operational burden.

Statewide Criminal Search

In select jurisdictions, a search of the centralized statewide resource is made available by the state's Administrative Office of the Courts or similar agency is available. This service yields a consolidated examination of court records across multiple jurisdictions within the state in a single search. Of course, requirements and reporting limitations vary by jurisdiction - but when available this tool is extremely helpful to get a full report on your applicant's criminal history in the state they live.

Federal Criminal Search

Federal Court covers crimes that are not prosecuted under local laws but fall under federal jurisdiction. This database covers "white collar" crimes such as tax evasion, embezzlement, counterfeiting, bank robbery and many other federal crimes. These crimes tend to be more serious and carry heavier penalties than a typical criminal conviction. This search lists criminal filings in most of the nation's federal district courts.
