There are a number of reasons people require criminal records including performing background checks on prospective employees, school admittance, property rental, adopting children and purchasing firearm. When a person is arrested for a crime, his or her criminal record begins. The arrested person is photographed and fingerprinted. Along with the information about current arrest, the person?s personal information is also recorded. The aforementioned information is stored if the arrested person is convicted of the crime.

In the past, Oregon criminal records were either handwritten or typed and were maintained at local Oregon police stations. This prevented the sharing of the information between agencies which in turn allowed a person to escape his or her criminal past simply by moving to another city or state. Fortunately, that is no longer the case. Today, computer databases accessible throughout the world are where criminal records are stored. This makes it easy for law enforcement agencies to keep track of a person?s criminal activity regardless of where he or she currently resides.
