ABOUT YOUR RECORD: |

There are many advantages to
receiving an expungement, seal, or pardon that can make your
life simpler and easier.
Criminal histories are maintained by law enforcement
agencies on all levels of government (even if adjudication
withheld).
Local police departments, sheriff's offices, and specialty
police agencies may maintain their own internal databases.
On the state level, state police, troopers, highway patrol,
correctional agencies, and other law enforcement agencies
also maintain separate databases. |

If you have been arrested a
criminal record was created in your name. Many people believe
that if their case was dismissed or were never convicted they do
not have a criminal record. Unfortunately this is not the
case!
A criminal record or rap
sheet, is a compilation of an individual's identification,
arrest, conviction (law), incarceration, legal status, sex
offender registration, warrant information, and other
relevant criminal history.
Its primary goal is to provide a
comprehensive criminal history for an individual to be used
for many purposes, including for identification, assistance
in developing suspects in an ongoing criminal investigation,
and for enhanced sentencing in criminal prosecutions.
