Georgia Public Criminal Records

By Ben Kingsley


When an individual violates the laws of the state a criminal record is then generated for that incident. Criminal records Georgia generates are issued not only by the police department but also by other law enforcing bodies of the state such as the traffic department and the sheriff's office.

One of the common reasons why people request for such document is to conduct a background check. Employers have been reported to regularly request for this type of document. They check it to make sure that the people who work for them have good intentions, thus avoiding problems among its people. This can help the company in the long run. The residents of Georgia themselves request for this document to make sure that they are with people that can be trusted. This can also prevent problems within their neighborhood. Authorities also use this document as their reference when they are conducting criminal investigations.

The documents were made public to benefit the public; however, there is still a downside to this. People who have previous records are finding it hard to land a decent job because of their criminal history. Even if they wish to change for goo, employers still prioritize those with clean records. Discrimination and unjust treatment are the common problems of these people. However, if one experience such treatments, employers can face charges for the treating them unjustly. This is the reason why many prefer to expunge their files so that their records appear to be clean from the public.

Just as the name implies, criminal records would contain information about the crimes that an individual has committed. Where and when the incident took place is indicated on the record. To complete the file, the physical description of the reported individual is detailed on the record. With this, one would know if the person has anybody markings or none.

Getting a copy of a criminal record in the state of Georgia may not be as easy as you think. There are several things that you have to keep in mind in order to gain access to the file. first things first, the document is only given if the one who requested it is the person himself, otherwise, a court order has to be secured. Next, the state's Bureau of Investigation manages the Crime Information center where the criminal records are being archived. This is where one should request for a copy of the said document. Additionally, searches can be done with a name search which can cost $20.75 per search. Fingerprint searches are only allowed for special requests made by law enforcers and employers. The fastest time to get the document is within an hour if the search runs smoothly, however, it can take days to weeks if problems are encountered during the search.

This can be avoided by doing the search online. Not only that criminal record can be obtained faster than any means but one can even obtain criminal arrest records for free even without paying a cent. However, many still go for the paid option to get a ready to use information.
