Why can’t I just run a Multi-State Criminal Index and skip county- and state-level searches?

The Multi-State Criminal Index is an excellent supplementary or cursory search, but is not appropriate as your single source for criminal information. The Multi-State Criminal Index is a database-driven search, and is only about 70 percent complete at any given time. Some jurisdictions do not report into databases, and others update only on a monthly or quarterly basis. Also, keep in mind that all records revealed by the Multi-State Criminal Index must be verified by way of a county-level criminal search in the appropriate jurisdiction. If you have questions about these processes, contact a TruDiligence representative today.
