Do background searches include police reports filed?
My SO used to work for a company that dealt with commercial background checks. Here is what he says: The appearance of ads for a background check does not indicate the presence of a record. Do a search for anyone’s name, and you’ll get hits offering criminal background check, “find your classmate!” etc etc. Police reports like the one you mention in your post tend not to appear on most commercial criminal background screenings conducted by landlords, employers, or even insane future love interests. If someone really wants to dig deep enough (like a lawyer hiring a private detective), then they’ll be able to find such information, but most reports provided commercial background checkers wouldn’t find it.
