You now have the option to search county criminal records for an entire metropolitan area in a single request. Where statewide criminal histories are unavailable, this is a valuable alternative. For example, the metropolitan area of Los Angeles primarily resides within Los Angeles County, but Orange, Ventura, and San Bernardino counties are also part of the same metro area. Now, if your applicant’s history is from one of the metro areas you simply choose “Metro Criminal Search” instead of worrying about which individual county would be most appropriate. Turnaround time will be 48-72 hours in most instances. ESS put together 39 Metro Criminal Searches for areas where a statewide search is not a viable option. (For more information on the availability of statewide searches, see the Report Availability and “Criminal History Searches: Understanding the Criminal Record Process,” which is in the Fall 2001 E-Update.)
