The need for public background criminal checks in many facets of our society has increased and when once one needed to rely on slow manual procedures, now the online environment has given those searching an enormous boost.

However, there are still many missing pieces which can trip up an amateur sleuth who may be looking for confirmation about a new employee's credentials, information on a new date who someone is meeting for the first time after making a connection through and online dating agency or simply checking on a new neighbor.

The problem with getting a reliable public criminal background check is you may think you've got all the information you required but the fact that there are many sources where information could be sought, a lot of it is not connected and in many instances, doesn't include a complete listing of possible criminal activities.

In this article, let's take a look a look at some tips on doing more accurate criminal checks and a resource or two you can consider when looking at making a search.

Many amateurs make judgment errors and unknowingly employ, or become involved with a fugitive, sex-offender, or worse. There is one all-encompassing source called PACER-mainly available to the FBI and not the public.

You could use The U.S. Federal Prison Database to do a background criminal check on inmates, and a limited archive of past inmates, parolees, and probationary criminals.

The main thing to consider when you are doing public background criminal check is that it is very time consuming to check all databases, even if you have all the information, which you probably don't.
