We utilize a team of researchers to access criminal records directly from the nearly 3200 county courthouses throughout the country based upon the counties you request.  Rather than using an aggregate criminal database, we use public access terminals at the courthouse or “hand pulled” criminal searches to directly examine county criminal felony and/or misdemeanor court records.  Property managers should request the County Criminal Search for all counties the applicant has lived, worked, or attended school for the past 7 years.  Based upon the applicant’s address history from the SSN Search, the County Criminal Search is considered the most accurate and comprehensive criminal background search.
