How To Check if Someone Has a History of Crime in Suffolk County
It is important to understand that Suffolk County criminal records generally reflect a person’s pending charges and indictments, or convicted charges and indictments from a previous trial. However, there are several more records relating to a person’s criminal history that include sex offender registries, probation registries, expungement records, juvenile records, and more.
All of these records are maintained by custodians. These custodians are federal, state, and local governmental agencies. In Suffolk County, some of those custodians include the Suffolk County Clerk of Court, the various District Courts, prosecution offices, and the myriad of police departments within Suffolk County.8
Look Up Prior Charges & Criminal Convictions Through the Suffolk County Court
The Suffolk County Clerk does not maintain all Suffolk County public records, but does maintain records of felonies committed and prosecuted in Suffolk County. To obtain records of misdemeanors and local town infractions, you must contact one of the Suffolk County District Courts.
The Suffolk County Clerk maintains records of charges or indictments and the dispositions of felony criminal cases. The County Clerk provides clear instructions of how to obtain these records. There is not a form, but the request must be in writing and include:
- First and Last Name
- Date of Birth
- Date of Arrest (the year will suffice)
- Any additional information
The Suffolk County Court does not offer a free criminal record check, which allows citizens to check if someone has a criminal record; however, there are a few other methods requiring nominal fees to check other people’s records below.
The record will cost $5.00 and must be paid via money order or check. The request and payment should be made out to:
Criminal Court Actions
Suffolk County Clerk to 310 Center Drive
Riverhead, NY 11901
Suffolk County court records–including criminal case dispositions and court dates–are generally available to the public. However, you cannot simply ask the court to look up someone’s criminal record; you must request a specific document.
For example, if you want to obtain a record of a criminal disposition, you must specifically request that one record. You will only receive one record per request.
How To Access Warrant Details in Suffolk County New York
Suffolk County warrants are formal documents created by law enforcement agencies that lay out criminal charges against individuals.
If the warrant is for a misdemeanor, the warrant is the formal charging document and sent to the appropriate district court with an appointed trial date. If the warrant is a felony, the warrant is also sent to a prosecution office where a prosecutor will draft an indictment that will serve as the formal charging document.
If you want to check if someone has a warrant in Suffolk County, you must contact the law enforcement agency that drafted or served the warrant because there is not an online warrant search option. You can find every law enforcement agency in Suffolk County by using the agency directory.9
The Southampton Police Department is the only law enforcement agency in Suffolk County that displays warrant and arrest details online. The remaining law enforcement agencies in Suffolk County do not provide online details. You must contact the appropriate law enforcement agency directly by phone or in person instead.
Because warrants become indictments and charging documents, you can look up what the indictment or charge is by using the New York State Unified Court System. This will only provide you with the name of the charge and the number of counts, but will provide no details surrounding the circumstances of the warrant and arrest.
How To Verify Who Is on Probation in Suffolk County New York
Probation in Suffolk County is a criminal diversion program for people convicted of felony charges. Rather than placing someone in prison after a conviction, the person is granted the right to maintain their liberty under government supervision.
There is not an online option to see who is on probation specifically. If the probation arises from a state or county charge, you should contact one of the various local probation offices.10
If the probation arises from a federal charge, you may contact the federal probation office to learn more information:
U.S. Eastern District of New York Probation Office
27 Johnson Street,
Brooklyn, NY 11201
Phone: (347)534-3400
Probation is a sentence. Therefore, you can also obtain a record of the criminal case disposition by following the instructions for obtaining criminal records listed on this page. By utilizing the New York Unified Court System, you will be able to see the sentencing and probation details of a particular case. You must know the person’s name to view this information, and you should know which court had jurisdiction over the case.
How To Execute a Suffolk County Background Check
the Suffolk County Police Department provides a limited criminal record search and letter of good conduct. There are separate instructions for requesting information about yourself and for other people. Follow the instructions for criminal record search to obtain the information the Suffolk County PD may have on yourself or person of interest.
To access Suffolk County public records in a more comprehensive background check, the New York State Office of Court Administration (OCA) provides statewide background checks for employment and personal purposes.
The criminal history record search (CHRS) request can be completed online via the direct access page, or by completing the criminal history record search application form and mailing it to the address below:11,12
Criminal History Record Search
NYS Office of Court Administration
Office of Administrative Services
Criminal History Record Search Unit
25 Beaver Street, 9th Floor
New York, NY 10004
The search costs $95.00 and will only return results if you provide an exact match of the person’s name and date of birth. The background check is limited, as it only provides public records relating to criminal convictions that aren’t sealed, dismissed, or expunged. It also displays some pending criminal charges.
You can discover more information and find out more about the limitations if desired.
Suffolk County does not have an independent background check process. You must use the same procedure as the one for obtaining a background check in New York. The procedure is as follows:
- Submit your request to the New York State Office of Court Administration via either Direct Access or completing the Application Form
- Mail it with $95
- Be sure to include individual’s full name and date of birth
- Expect results by email the following business weekday
The EEOC enforces federal laws that prohibit employment discrimination. It is not unlawful for an employer to require someone to provide criminal history details, but it is unlawful to discriminate in employment based on race, color, national origin, religion, or sex.
If you believe you’ve been discriminated against (based on protected classes, criminal records, arrest records), you can file a charge of employment discrimination with the EEOC. Here’s how to file a charge with the EEOC, and you can use this portal to file.13
If an employer uses a background reporting company to conduct a background check on you, they must receive your written permission by law. If an employer got your background report without your permission, or rejected you without sending you the required notices, report it to the FTC.
Further information on criminal history and background check options can be found in the following section.
How To Obtain All Criminal Records in New York via State & Federal Agencies
The New York Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) maintains all official criminal history records and provides instructions on how to obtain criminal history records.14 These records detail arrest, indictment, conviction, and sentencing information reported to the state by police departments, district attorneys’ offices, the courts, and other criminal justice agencies.
Someone’s criminal record in the state of New York is a privacy right and not subject to public disclosure under New York’s Freedom of Information Law (FOIL). New York law explicitly states that you cannot request a criminal history record response for another person to determine if that person has a criminal history. You must submit fingerprints when you request a criminal history record response.
This means that employers nor third party background check companies can request your criminal history record through the DCJS without your express permission and fingerprints.
There are two types of criminal history records: unsuppressed and suppressed. If you need both, you must submit a different request for each. To obtain your records you must:
- Schedule an appointment to have your fingerprints taken
- Use the correct service code: 15464Z – Suppressed Record or 15465F – Unsuppressed Record
- Bring one form of identification
- Payment: $13.50 if you live in NY or $43.50 if you live outside NY
After the DCJS receives your request, the results will be mailed to you in 3-4 weeks. You cannot pick up your criminal history record response in person.
As mentioned in the previous section, you can also request a background check through the New York State Office of Court Administration (OCA) and receive a limited report that details public criminal case convictions for a particular person.
You may utilize the New York State Unified Court System public index to view a person’s pending criminal charges and most recent case dispositions.
Additional state of New York agency public resources you can search for more criminal information include:
- New York Department of Corrections and Community Services: Their online incarcerated lookup will show you who is currently confined in a New York state prison and the reason for their confinement. All you need to input is a person’s last name to receive results.You can also find someone’s mugshot by checking the box “Display offender photos in search results (if available)”.
- Federal Bureau of Prisons: The Bureau’s online inmate locator will show you who is currently in a federal prison and where they are located.15 You must know a person’s first and last name to locate them. The inmate locator also includes details of everyone who has been previously confined in a federal prison but since released.
- New York Department of Criminal Justice Services: The DCJS maintains the New York state sex offender registry. Their online sex offender directory displays individuals required to register as a sex offender in New York.16 The directory only includes individuals deemed a medium or high risk of re-offense. Check out further information about the registry if interested.
How To Access Suffolk County New York Public Court Cases & Documents
If you want to look up Suffolk County public records pertaining to anything from probate court cases to specific documents about a civil case, you can utilize the eCourts case search portal.
For the search to yield results, you only need the first and last name of the person you’re looking for. When you find the case in question–for example, a criminal case–you can locate the pending charges by clicking on “Charges” under “Case Details” on the left side of the webpage.
If the person you’re searching for has a common name, the search may yield many results, making it difficult to locate the right person.
To narrow your search, it’s important to understand that Suffolk County judicial records and trials are held in 6 district courts and one county court. The district courts each have jurisdiction over misdemeanors, traffic violations, and town infractions committed within their respective districts.
The county court at large has jurisdiction over felonies and major crimes. When using the unified court system, select the right court by using the drop down arrow under the second search block labeled “Narrow your results by Court”. This will refine your search and make it easier for you to accurately find the person you’re looking for.
If you’re unsure which court has the case record you seek, it is best to start your Suffolk County case search with the Suffolk County Court; it is the largest court and offers the broadest scope for your search. Then proceed to select the other 6 remaining courts until you find the case you’re looking for and the accompanying court documents.
The process of updating the docket often takes a while and the online system isn’t updated to accurately reflect pending case information. In that instance, it’s best to contact one of the district courts or the county court directly. You can use the phone numbers below to contact each court individually:
| Court | Address | Phone Number |
| Cohalan Court Complex (Suffolk County Court and First District Court) | 400 Carleton Ave Central Islip, NY 11722 |
(631)208-5775 |
| Lindenhurst Courthouse (Second District Court) | 30 East Hoffman Ave Lindenhurst NY 11757 |
(631)381-6028 |
| Huntington Station Courthouse (Third District Court) | 1850 New York Avenue Huntington Station, NY 11746 |
(631)381-6070 |
| Hauppauge Courthouse (Fourth District Court) | Building 158, North County Complex Veteran’s Memorial Highway Hauppauge, NY 11788 |
(631)381-6090 |
| Ronkonkoma Courthouse (Fifth District Court) | 3105 Veteran’s Memorial Highway Ronkonkoma, NY 11779 |
(631)381-6000 |
| Patchogue Courthouse (Sixth District Court) | 150 West Main Street Patchogue, NY 11772 |
(631)381-6100 |
You should start with the court nearest the incident location. If you’re unsure of where an incident took place, start with the Suffolk County Court and continue making contact with the remaining courts until you find the information you need. All other types of Suffolk County court cases can be found conveniently through this resource as well.
How To View Suffolk County Vital Records (Marriage, Divorce, Birth & Death)

Understanding Your Rights & Using Suffolk County Public Records Responsibly
Most people do not realize they have protections against discrimination when others access public information on them. Employers and other bad actors can use public information about you to discriminate against you in employment and housing, or to harass you.
Public information is to be used responsibly for personal and professional use. When public information is sought for a personal use, it can be used for any reason that is not criminal or unlawful–such as stalking, intimidation, or identity theft. Often, public information about someone does not require the subject’s consent.
While public records can help screen family members, colleagues, neighbors, and potential dates and provides safety, reassurance, and satisfies curiosity, always consider and respect the privacy of others.
Citizens also have the right to submit a FOIA request to federal government agencies to obtain government information such as recordings of meetings, inter-dealings, court cases, and matters of public importance. There are some exceptions to FOIA requests, so be sure to contact the state, county, or local attorney’s office for more information.
When the information sought is for professional use, such as employment, the use must abide by the FCRA and other federal and local laws. The Suffolk County Human Rights Commission enforces laws that protect workers from discrimination and harassment.
For example, it is unlawful to inquire about a person’s prior criminal conviction on an employment application or during an interview.
If you believe you’ve been discriminated against in Suffolk County, you can file an online complaint.
The agencies below are some of the most reliable Suffolk County and New York public records custodians as a whole:
