Police records on some thing that happen over 25 years ago is it still on files?

Fadwa

More than likely yes, it depends on the crime or offense committed though, if it is vandalism its likely the file would have been wiped, as long as the culprit hadnt been in trouble with the law after that, if it is petty crime this all depends on the outcome of the court case, if there was one, as i said it differs as to what was committed and on file.

yes they are, all the way through your life,just whether they bring it back up, if it is contacted in some way,they will, if not contacted they won't bother.hope that helps.good luck.

That would depend of what it is and if it was ever dealt with by the Courts. Generally, paperwork only has to be retained for so many years but as I've said, that would depend on other factors. You would have to be more specific for an accurate answer.

kate

Most likely yes, you can find that runing through the public records if not, inquire at the police records office.

They should be, but not all of those records would be public depending on the outcome of the investigation or type of investigation. Might have to get a court order to see them. There is also statue of limitations that would likely make the information irrelevant unless its murder. May keep someone from getting a job or just as a want to know basis.

As long as you were an adult when it happened, it will be on file forever.

Yes

MissR

it'd depend what it is, some things stay on your file forever. It'd depend on the severity of it. A caution wouldn't that would of gone years ago

Felony convictions, and even acquittals of charges of felony offenses, are kept on file forever. There is no statute of limitations on capital crimes, especially.

Yes. Available to the general public or probable to show up on a records check? No, unless it was pretty serious or the sentance ran that long.

Paul M

Yeah, should be. It's not like a CCJ where they expect you to get better with handling those murders/money lol

?Gems?

yes

Yes, the only way you can get the record deleted is by donating vast amounts of money to which every political party in in power at time, by agreeing to work as a drug smuggler for the police or the laughably named security services, become an American citizen, or become Tory Liars secretary.

You bet. When I was 18 I wrote a bad check for $4, and got arrested for it. It still shows up today, 32 years later.

time for a change

Phone the Criminal Records Bureau they should be able to help, I know a drugs offence stays on your record for 20 years but not about any other offences

Extremely likely to be on PNC, yes.
