About Nassau County Criminal History

Nassau County criminal records are divided among the police agency that made an arrest, the Sheriff's Department and Correctional Center, several criminal courts, the New York State Office of Court Administration, and the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services. State prison and parole records belong to DOCCS, while DCJS also maintains the New York State Sex Offender Registry. This private site organizes those official routes so readers can identify the correct record holder before searching, calling, mailing a form, or visiting an office.

Why We Built This Site

Nassau's record trail is spread across Mineola, Hempstead, East Meadow, Albany, and two city court systems. NCPD and city or village police keep the reports they create. The Nassau County Sheriff's Department controls county booking and custody material. Court clerks maintain filed charges and outcomes, while OCA offers court-search products. DCJS keeps the fingerprint-linked state repository, but it does not let one member of the public request another person's rap sheet. DOCCS handles state incarceration and supervision records. We built the site to make those lines clear and to preserve the local details that affect each request.

What You Will Find Here

  • Agency routes: official contacts for Nassau police reports, county custody records, criminal courts, and statewide systems
  • Court record help: how to find and read Nassau County criminal court case records
  • Official check steps: the difference between OCA's name-and-birth-date search and personal fingerprint review through DCJS
  • Record sealing context: where New York sealing orders begin and how a person can check their own state record

What We Cannot Do

This is a privately run reference site, not part of Nassau County or New York government. It has no authority over a court, police department, sheriff, DCJS, OCA, or DOCCS. Those limits mean:

  • We do not retrieve official criminal histories or perform government record checks
  • We cannot issue a certified disposition, arrest report, booking file, or DCJS rap sheet
  • We do not submit FOIL requests or record-sealing papers for a visitor
  • We cannot interpret a charge, warrant, conviction, or sealing rule as legal advice
  • We cannot promise that an agency's fee, hours, address, or portal will never change

Only the record holder, such as the arresting agency, Sheriff, court clerk, OCA, DCJS, or DOCCS, can issue or confirm its official record.

Search Partners

Outside providers power search boxes that appear on some pages. A provider controls its own results, data practices, and prices. The site may receive a referral fee if a visitor follows a tool to a paid service, which helps fund public access to the reference material. We do not create those results and cannot vouch for a match. Official Nassau County or New York records must still come from the government office that maintains them.
