If you are trying to locate Criminal records or a criminal history in Pennsylvania, you will probably be pleased and surprised by their system to get you the information you need.
Pennsylvania has created a system called PATCH (Pennsylvania Access To Criminal History). This system allows you to find all Criminal records that are available. By going online to the PATCH system, you will find that unlike most states, you only have to enter one portal to get the information you need. In most states, you need to look through motor vehicles, various courts and often the Department of Justice or Attorney General’s Office to gather all the Criminal records you need.
The official website to the PATCH System is www.psp.state.pa.us/patch/site/default.asp or you can go to www.psp.state.pa.us/psp/lib/psp/sp4-164.pdf and it will take you directly to the form to fill out online for the Criminal records you need. Within the PATCH system there is also a place to click in order to view some of the records before you order them to see if they contain what you need.
Looking for Criminal records in Pennsylvania has been organized in such a way that one click does it all.
