District Of Columbia Online Police Records
From EjWiki
The background of a person is, without a doubt, something that the members of the community and those who interact with the person on an everyday basis are interested in. There is also no doubt that the best source of information in regards to the background of the person would be the person who is the subject of the background check himself or herself as the person is understood to be the one who knows himself or herself the best, yet it must also be remembered that most people tend to judge other people on the basis of the things that they had done in the past, which means that the person who had done something negative in the past would have the tendency to hide such fact from the community. It is in cases like these that police records like District of Columbia Police Records are requested for from the government.
These records contain the background of the person in regards to his or her arrest, yet it must be remembered that because these records are made regardless of the reason behind the arrest of the person whose name appears on the record, there is still the need to actually look into the records and read it. There are things that a person would do and for which a person could be arrested for, yet these actions are not indicative of whether or not the person in question could be trusted. There is also the fact that the person who had commissioned the search may have a different criterion from others when it comes to the parameters of trust.
In this regard, one must remember that these records are the official records of the government, and because that is the case, the contents of these records are given the presumption of regularity such that the contents of the records are presumed to be true and accurate at all times. This means that there is no obligation on the part of the party presenting the records from actually having to prove that the contents of the records are true and accurate, yet it must be noted that this presumption applies only if the records were obtained from the proper sources, which means that there is still the need to prove that particular fact.
There is no official repository or even a central repository for copies of these records, and that translates to the fact that a request for copies of the records could only be done at the place that made the records in the first place. This means that the first task of a person who would like to make a request for copies of these records would be to determine the place where the records are being kept in the first place. As for the procedure that one must use to make the request, that would depend upon the office where the request would be made, though it would usually be either through the mail or in person.
Washington DC Police Records are also available online with the help of online archives. These archives are able to present information that would practically be the same as that which could be found from the official sources, however, as they are not official sources, these records could not be used for official proceedings.
