Each state keeps a record of their state citizen’s criminal background. These databases are linked together and you can track criminal histories from another state. You can go to courthouse and make an inquiry, or you can check online. It is helpful to know the county the crime was committed in, and in the event that the crime was in a completely different state, you might have to pay for a more comprehensive search.
