By Claire Dowell


Scrutinizing a person's past deed and other relevant histories is an indispensable process undertaken by all businesses, companies and workplace in the discipline of employing personnel. It is a form of quality assurance measure aimed towards mitigating any form of potential risk that may jeopardize the institution's name and reputation. Arrest or criminal records can adequately fill this void, as these registers contain records of a person's dealings with the Law, from minor offenses to grave felony charges. California Public Records Arrest Reports are maintained and can be obtained upon filing a request towards the Office of the Attorney General or the State Department of Justice.

In accordance to the California Government Code Section 6254(F), also known as the Public Records Act, law enforcement must make available concurrent arrest information to the public. A person's arrest information is public provided only if court proceedings are still undecided. In Kern County, for instance, a person's arrest information can be viewed by visiting the official website of the county Superior Court. After the case has been dismissed, it becomes local criminal history and law enforcement is now prohibited from discharging it to the public. These records are now limited to appropriate law enforcement institutions, duly authorized applicant agencies, and the persons named on the record. Requests made by any party outside of the specified bodies by the law will not be entertained.

Informational copies are available for parties not cited by the aforementioned statute. They contain the same information written in authorized copies, but are not used to establish any identity and are only limited for background checking, genealogy studies, and other related research initiatives.
