Many statewide criminal searches rely on state repositories that can fall short in both completeness and turnaround time.
In states like Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri, repositories may:
- Exclude certain misdemeanor and traffic offenses
- Depend on inconsistent county reporting participation
- Require fingerprint submissions
- Experience significant delays
- Lack important case outcomes, including non-convictions
- Miss important case details, like disposition and sentencing
In other states, including Arizona, California, Louisiana, and Ohio, there is no publicly available statewide repository.
We’ll walk through the structural challenges behind statewide repository searches and demonstrate an alternative approach built from the county level up. If you want a clearer picture of how statewide repository searches actually work, where they break down, and what we can do about it, this will be worth your time.
We’ll also be at Booth 1003 if you’d like to continue the conversation.
