07011aUp until fairly recent times it was impossible to run background checks on everyone in the US without hiring a private detective and spending a fortune. Now that we have large computer databases, this has become very simple.

It’s now feasible, if you know where to look, to run a number of separate searches on zero cost public websites to gather criminal records stored against members of the public. The problem with this way of doing thing is that you have no other choice but to run searches on loads of individual web urls and databases to discover the data that you are trying to obtain. The records is quite often saved differently for each individual state making retrieval a slow process.

Luckily there is a better solution at a much reduced cost. A hand full of large independent databases have been created by private companies that enable you to search though all criminal records on a single website. This makes it simple to use and easy to retrieve the criminal records that you want. For a small yearly charge of $40 you are able to do searches on criminal records for every state in the country. All records are searchable through just one website which makes it all much simpler.

There’s more good news. This same low annual charge also grants you access to loads of different kinds of recordsthat are saved on the numerous government databases. These include: criminal records, assault searches, arrest details, sex offenders lists, inmate details, court records and proceedings, birth / death searches, marriage and divorce searches, parole records, DWI registers, personal bankruptcy details, most wanted criminal data, jail lists, missing persons files, and much more

It’s worth noting that a US citizen does not have to have been locked up to have recoverable criminal files held against him.

The best online website we have found is http://gov-criminal-records.com This website provides a very fast search facility and the access to search through tens of millions of US Government data all in one online website.

So how can you use this information for and can it be helpful for you? There are a multitude reasons why a small annual subscription for this information is a must have. If you employ a person to help in your house, walk your dog, or help with care of your dependents, you will now be able to fire off a quick search on the person’s name and check if they have a shady background.

You might be an employer and have to fire off background checks on potential employees. Again an easy search will give all the information you need to make sure you hire the appropriate candidate. If someone is over 18 years old and has become involved in criminal activity, they have public criminal records against them that it will now be able to search for and view.

Another awesome use for this information is if you go on a date and want to run a check on the date you have met up with. Better to find out now than many years ahead in time when it’s was too late.  Good luck!
