Illinois Updated Arrest Records


by Ben Kingsley


Arrest records Illinois manages are one of the criminal files that are open to the local residents. This means that the public is given access to such files if all requirements are met. An arrest record is only made open to the public once the case has been closed.

A lot of information can be obtained from an arrest record that is issued in Illinois. One would find the real name of the individual which has been arrested along with his/her date and place of birth. The document would also indicate if there are markings that can be found on the body of the person such as birth marks, scars or tattoo. The crimes that the person has committed are also indicated on the file along with the charges and sentence if the person was convicted of his crimes.

Recent studies have proven that most of the crimes that we hear in the news are done by those who had previous criminal records. It is because of this reason that employers would conduct a background check on their people through the arrest records. By doing this, business owners can feel at ease and would be able to pin point those who had criminal records. Ordinary residents of the Illinois would also request for such documents to check on the people surrounding them. It helps them to feel secured and safe in their neighborhood. Such document is also used by investigators when they study the criminal case.

Although, access to the arrest records may be beneficial to employers, it can cause problems to the involved individual. Discrimination is the biggest problem that these people face. Many have experienced difficulties in finding a good job since employers prefer those with clean records. Some would feel the unjust treatment among employees and workers. This can be avoided by expunging the records.

In Illinois, the arrest records are only released if the one who requested the document is the person himself. The documents are made open only for employment and investigation reasons, other than that would require an authorization coming from the person on the file. A fingerprint search can be done in order to get a copy of an arrest record in Illinois, but if this is not possible, one can request for a name based search. It is important that all the basic information needed be provided in order to avoid delay in the search process. The Department of Justice is where the arrest records are being managed and archived. Fees can range from $16 to $30. The office also accepts mail orders that have complete requirements in it, otherwise it may be denied.

The Internet has changed the way information is being shared and delivered. This is most evident with the criminal records that are now available for request online. With this, one can greatly save time and energy since the search is opened for 24/7 and it can be done even at the comforts of your own home.
