For how many years are police records kept on convicted criminals?
Once a person has been convicted of any criminal offence the police records on the convicted criminals remain in their records till the person has his/her criminal record expunged or cleared. The records that are created on paper and in electronic databases remain for indefinite periods however there are chances that the paper records may be discarded after several years by the concerned police department offices. The police record data in the electronic databases remain intact and any person who needs access to them can find them here easily. These databases are very helpful to obtain old police records from a single source and without the wastage of time.
