Background Record Checks

The Records Bureau conducts local background record checks for civilians, employers, government, and military. This record will list the number of times that an individual has been arrested and booked into the Allen County Jail. It will NOT give the final disposition of the charge. That information must be obtained from the appropriate court that heard or dismissed the case.

When requesting a criminal arrest record check the following information must be provided:

  • A signed waiver from the subject of the search (pre-employment screening)
  • Full name (last name, first name middle initial)
  • Date of birth
  • Social security number

Only computerized arrest records from 1986 are available. The disposition of any arrest must be found from the court that heard the case if charges were filed.
