A county-based criminal background check is a type of background check that involves checking an individual’s criminal record at the county level. Employers or organizations that want to obtain detailed information about an individual’s criminal history in a specific geographic area often use this type of check. County-based criminal background checks involve searching court records at the county courthouse where an individual has lived or worked. These checks can typically provide information about misdemeanor and felony convictions, as well as any pending criminal cases. It’s important to note that county-based criminal background checks may not provide information about criminal cases that occurred outside of the county or state, and they may not include information about arrests that did not result in convictions. Employers and organizations may use other types of criminal background checks in addition to county-based checks to obtain a more complete picture of an individual’s criminal history
