Q: Which States have a criminal state repository?
A: Most states have a central repository they use to track known criminals. Typically, these repositories are run by the State Police or the Department of Public Safety in a particular state. Each has its own requirements for the availability of records as well as what type of information is released. In general, statewide criminal repositories obtain records from the counties and are dependent upon the courts in each county to forward case information in a timely and complete manner. Due to this reliance upon the counties to forward information, state repository records may not be complete or accurate.
