The Purpose of Warrant Records

Warrant Records in Unicoi County Tennessee are maintained by the Records Division of the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office. They maintain these public records for a wide variety of reasons. The most common reason is to perform a background check on someone who wants to become a part of the community. Another reason would be to check if a sex offender is on the loose.

Performing background checks on people is not a new idea. It has been around ever since the time of the Roman Empire. Back then they used to do criminal background examinations and release the person from their cellars as they deemed necessary. It has only been in modern times that we have been allowed to conduct these types of inspections with the advent of the Internet.

The main purpose of performing a warrant lookup is to find out if a person has a criminal record. This can give you the peace of mind to know your children and your business are safe. You might be applying for a job and the last thing you need is to have a background check turned you down. There have been many times that I have applied to work at a company only to be turned down because of a failed drug test.

If you are looking to hire a nanny for your children, then there is no point allowing a criminal into your home. In order to find out if the person you are considering to care for your kids has a criminal record, you will need to do a background check. Warrant records are one way to find this out. If the nanny is using someone else’s house, then you will be able to gain access to that person’s arrest record as well.

Another time when it is a good idea to use a warrant search is when you want to rent a place to live. Just as landlords can perform criminal records checks, they can also do credit checks on prospective tenants. For example, if you are a landlord, you may want to know if the potential renter has any outstanding traffic offenses on their driving record. Perhaps they have two tickets for speeding. It never hurts to be safe.

Now that you understand the many reasons to do a warrant record check, you are probably wondering where you can do one. You can do it yourself at the local courthouse or you can pay a small fee to have a private investigator perform the search. Whichever way you choose, be sure to find out how to obtain the person’s criminal history before hiring them. If you aren’t sure who will be doing the search, you can always hire a private investigator. They usually charge only about $30 for a half hour of search time. Then you will know for sure if the person you want to hire has a warrant.
