Criminal Court Records
Exacting Search of Criminal Records
Abso searches criminal records by primary sources. We pursue details to provide the most complete and accurate report possible.
County Criminal Search
The County Criminal Search is an essential step in individual background research and pre-employment screening. Based on the candidate’s address history, the County Criminal Search is considered the most accurate and comprehensive criminal background search.
Abso utilizes a team of researchers to access criminal records directly from local courthouses. We utilize public access terminals or "hand pulled" criminal searches to directly examine county criminal records rather than using an aggregated criminal database.
Federal Criminal Searches
The Federal Criminal Records search retrieves information directly from the Federal District Courts. This identifies federal criminal records, which is especially relevant for screening management and executive candidates for white-collar crimes.
Multi-state/Multi-jurisdiction Criminal Database
Abso’s Multi-state/Multi-jurisdiction Criminal Database Search accesses over 200 million files containing criminal records from:
- Statewide repositories and archives (in some states)
- Department of Corrections (DOC) files (where available)
- Local county court houses
- Traffic violations and infractions involving warrants
- Administration of Court records
- National sex-offender database
