Illinois Arrest Records Search

By Ben Davis


Anyone is entitled to access Illinois Criminal Records if they so wish as they are public information. When it comes to actually obtaining copies of these records it is pretty easy to accomplish and often you are able to obtain them for free. However, there are some law enforcement agencies and companies who will carry out a search for you of these records but will charge a fee for doing so.

The Illinois State Police hold criminal history information on particular individuals and if you would like to see sight of this you will need to pay a fee of $16.00 in order to do so. Whereas the Circuit Court in Jackson County will allow you access to their database and this will cost you $12.95 for each search that you carry out.

Every law enforcement agency whether it is in the State of Illinois or anywhere else in the USA is required to maintain their criminal databases. They are also required that they share this information not only with other law enforcement agencies but with the courts. Sometimes if a person is required to then a law enforcement agency must provide this information to them as well.

The information which is held on these databases should be either updated on a daily, monthly or quarterly basis by the person charged with doing so. So just how good the arrest records information is will depend upon how well maintained and updated the database is.

When it comes to Illinois criminal records statistics in recent years their rate has been above the national one. Yet even though this is shown the state has seen a decrease in the number of arrests being made. In 1990 the arrests made per 100,000 of the population was 1,237 but by 2002 this figure has dropped to 894 arrests for 100,000 of the population. This has meant that there has been a decrease of 28% during this 12 year period of arrests being made.

Yet even though the State has seen a reduction in the number of arrests being made for it overall and recorded between 1990 and 2002 some of its counties have seen increases. There are 102 counties which make up the State of Illinois and of these 43 showed a sizeable increase in their arrest rate records. Whereas 17 showed a notable reduction and the other 42 counties that make up the State of Illinois showed no difference whatsoever.

When you take a closer look at the State of Illinois public arrest records for the period from 1995 to 2002 you will be amazed to see that the number of counties where increases have occurred has fallen from 43 to 8. Of these eight, seven of the counties where there have been increases in the arrests made are rural ones.
