Why We Built This Site
California does not place every criminal record in one public database. Calaveras Sheriff keeps local reports, booking information, and jail records. Calaveras Superior Court records filed charges and case outcomes. The California Department of Justice restricts statewide summary histories to the subject’s own fingerprint-based review and authorized uses. CDCR maintains state custody information, while the California Megan’s Law Website publishes only registry information that state law allows. This site organizes the verified contacts, fees, portals, and request steps for those distinct sources.
What You Will Find Here

- Official review steps: how California DOJ personal record review works through Live Scan

- Relief information: where California expungement and arrest-sealing requests begin
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately run reference site, not part of a California court, police department, sheriff’s office, or state agency. Those limits mean:
- We do not retrieve a criminal record or conduct an official background check
- We cannot submit a records request, expungement petition, or other filing for a visitor
- We do not certify court files, rap sheets, or law-enforcement records
- We cannot advise anyone about a charge, warrant, conviction, or pending case
- We cannot promise that an agency has not changed a fee, address, phone number, or procedure
An official copy must come from the Calaveras Sheriff, Superior Court, California Department of Justice, or other agency that created and maintains it.
Search Partners
Third-party providers power search boxes on some pages. They control their services, result sets, and prices. A paid signup reached through one of those tools may generate a referral fee that supports free access to this site. We do not set provider charges or determine the information their systems return.
