FREE SEX OFFENDER SEARCH

A number of jurisdictions have a sex offender system in place to protect the public. This system allows authorities to keep track of the activities of sex offenders. Almost all of this information is available to the public for free. Below I’ve listed what I believe to be  the best sources for performing a free, state by state sex offender search.

Advanced Sex Offender Search

In the United States if someone is convicted of a crime it is considered an event of public record. This means that the conviction record is public and anyone can go to the court clerk’s office and search files for records of conviction. The only exception to this rule is if the conviction has been sealed by a judge. The Federal Bureau of Investigations and state criminal offices keep huge databases on convicted citizens, but accessing these databases is restricted. To perform a free criminal record search I suggest starting with these free sources.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons: This site is a great first step to finding out if a person has a criminal record. You will need the individual’s first, middle and last name, sex and race to perform a successful search. Results include, release date (actual or projected) and release locations. If you do get a hit, you know that the person has a criminal background. Unfortunately this is the only information available on this site.

Google: Try typing in the person’s name you want searched into Google and add the word “defendant” at the end. Words you can also try are “sentenced” “arrested” and “found guilty.”

FREE POLICE RECORD SEARCH

Police record searches can be performed if you have a person’s name or license plate number. From most Police record searches you can find court records, criminal offenses, traffic accidents and conviction records. For the average citizen most of these records are restricted. Below I’ve listed two free sources that may help you in your police record search…
