Police records stay with the agency that made them, such as a city or town police department, a sheriff's office or the state police. What each agency releases, and how fast it answers, differs from place to place.

Crashes worked by the State Highway Patrol since May 16, 2013 can be looked up online by county, name or report number. Criminal background checks come from the State Bureau of Investigation.
