Missed Misdemeanors
County courts in New York do not always retain information on misdemeanor cases. Employers tend to think that Felonies only is alright. However, before settling on that, our investigative team urges all hiring managers to review the document below.
This is a quick example of those criminal records missed by an organization that would do only county level searches within New York State. Also, of the 62 counties in NY, 13 Counties in NY require the expensive New York State OCA search, and another 12 have add on fees charged by the county clerk for a record search.
Cursory Indicator NY is able to capture misdemeanors and felonies at an enhanced value over the NYS Office of Court Administration.
