Public Records...?

Question

I am looking for the website that I can access Public Records for free, to do a criminal record check for posible child care providers. Do you know what it is???

Answer 1

You cannot access criminla records for free. Each state has a Deaprment of Child Welfare or something similar that keeps records, but they are not free to the public. Child care providers and teachers are required to get clearances from the state police and child welfare. Any legit child care facility will have clearances on file.

Answer 2

I've been doing background checks and records searches online for years, as it is part of my business. I am a former detective, and currently a professional private investigator by trade. What I can tell you is this: You cannot obtain these records for free. You simply cannot. For every service provided online, there is typically either a one time cost, or a fee you pay every single month. Some services are better than others.

Some more expensive, some less. In my line of work, I am signed up for a service where I am billed monthly. However, if you are just the average person needing information on a particular person or property, I would suggest http://www.echeck.pcti-system.com ... For a one time fee, they are by far the best, cheapest, and most thorough service available. If you are strictly in business like myself, and don't mind being billed automatically every single month, I would recommend E-Verify or Inteligator.
