Arrest records show what happened at the time of arrest. Court records show how the case was resolved. Cases can be dismissed, go to trial, or end in plea deals. Both types of records may be needed for a complete picture.

Background checks at $7 are useful for employment purposes. Fingerprinting at $6 is needed for some jobs and licenses. Both services are available at the police department.
