    Default How Can I Check My Arrest Record from Years Ago?

    My question involves a background check in the State of: New York.
    Many years ago I was arrested for a non violent crime. never went to jail or anything, I was just given community service.
    How can I look up my record and find out what potential employers will see?
    How do I go about getting my recoerd expunged in New York City?
    I plan on moving to Las Vegas and working for the state.
    Thank you.

    There is no standard that all employers see. What they see depends on what they ask for. All background checks are not created equal.

    Also, New York doesn't presently offer expungements.

    You can go to the courthouse in which you were convicted and request all the records that have your name, social security number, and DL number attached to them. There is a large room in every courthouse, dedicated to keeping records. The records that you are looking for are public record.

    I live in Pennsylvania, and we have a program called PATCH. This is a system that the police use, which is public record also, that you can have searched and any information given to you. The cost is 10 here. I'm sure NY has a system that works the same way.
