A COUNTY CRIMINAL inquiry is highly recommended as a minimum criminal record search to
ensure the discovery of any misdemeanor or felony charges that may have been brought
against a subject.  Due to compliance standards, county criminal searches are usually run
where a subject has lived or worked within the past 7 or 10 years at the client's discretion.

CI conducts County Criminal inquiries by submitting a query to a professional court researcher
who physically retrieves the records from the appropriate jurisdiction.  Examples of charges
that can be revealed through a County Criminal Inquiry include assault, robbery and murder.
More often, a County Criminal inquiry uncovers “minor” convictions such as theft, drug
possession or shoplifting that are very relevant to employers seeking the best applicants.

Note that in New York State, county level searches reveal felonies only and will not reveal
“minor” crimes considered misdemeanors such as those mentioned above.  For this reason, CI
does not recommend that county level only searches be performed in New York State.
