Dalija D. asked:


If a cop runs a background check on someone, what information will show up? Address, phone numbers, work history? I don’t know any information other than it is a background check done by a cop- anyone know what all will show up?

    almost any past legal (even traffic tickets) or financial difficulties

    and then they will explore your list of references

    then from names gleaned in those steps

    the net will expand (generally one or two more levels) where it will be explored in more detail

    the final report (provided no legal or financial problems) is mostly about information turned up at that second level of search, and while it doesn’t turn up everything, it does turn up a whole lot, and it is difficult to predict, in advance, what piece of trivia might be missed

    Hi,
    Almost all records that are filed under the public records database can be found via a COMPREHENSIVE background records check. For example, here is a legitimate online service that can let you conducting nationwide background check for under $5 (it’s on offer at a special low price at the moment).

    Do a check at less than $5, with your details, and you will know what has been recorded under your name:

    Good Luck

    In order to give you a more detailed answer, I would need to know more specifics on circumstances surrounding the background check being run. Based on you saying it is being done by the police, that means it is likely a criminal records check. This would entail them checking for any criminal record information (arrests, convictions, etc.) against national criminal databases. I doubt they would care much about things like address history, marital status, civil records (like bankduptcy filings, etc.)

    If you would like to see what a comprehensive background check looks like I can point you to a couple online services that provide sample reports (no purchase necessary). I conduct research and testing for an online consumer review site (www.CompleteReviews.net ) and so have a lot of experience with these things… So here are the links you will need:
