Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of Jefferson County Criminal History. Using the resource means accepting them. If you disagree, do not continue to access it.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated resource has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other Fair Credit Reporting Act decisions. Its purpose is to identify Jefferson County and Arkansas record channels. It is not a private investigator or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no connection to a government office. It neither stores official criminal files nor retrieves records, performs official checks, or submits filings.

It identifies the Jefferson County Sheriff, the courts, Arkansas State Police and ACIC, and the Arkansas Sex Offender Registry as separate official record channels. Some pages also connect readers with outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

  • Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
  • Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
  • Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
  • Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
  • Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No one may use information obtained here or through a linked tool to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate. Arkansas law, including the registry framework in Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-901 et seq., restricts misuse of Arkansas Sex Offender Registry information. That information supports lawful public-safety awareness, never vigilantism or unlawful exclusion.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not generate background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports of any kind. Neither we nor our advertising partners provide services built for screening job applicants, reviewing rental applications, calculating insurance rates, or judging creditworthiness. You agree not to use data from this site or any linked tool to:

  • Decide whether to hire or fire someone
  • Screen potential renters or housing applicants
  • Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
  • Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
  • Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules

Any check needed for an FCRA-regulated purpose must come from Arkansas State Police when authorized or from a screening provider that complies with the FCRA and Arkansas dissemination law, Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1009.

5. No Legal Advice

Nothing here is legal advice. General explanations of Jefferson County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or Arkansas sealing law applies to a specific situation. Consult a licensed Arkansas attorney for legal advice.

6. No Warranties

Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not guarantee that:

  • The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
  • The site will stay up and running without interruptions
  • Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
  • Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate

Criminal files change as charges are filed, amended, dismissed, or sealed. Updates can lag, and no content here is an official statement from a court, sheriff, or agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

We link to sheriff's office sites, court portals, state agency pages, legal aid organizations, and outside search services across this site. Clicking one of those links moves you off our platform and onto one we have no control over. We are not responsible for their content, how they handle data, what they charge, or whether their site stays online. Check their terms before using them.

8. Intellectual Property

Jefferson County Criminal History or its content partners own the text, graphics, logos, and code. Copying, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative works requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for damages that come from using this site - including decisions made based on information found here or through any linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to hold us harmless from any claim, legal action, or demand that stems from how you used this site or from breaking these terms. That includes covering our legal fees and related costs.

11. Governing Law

Arkansas law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the resource must be brought in a court located in Arkansas.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised. A new version becomes effective when posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

We can limit or block your access to this site at any time, for any reason, with no warning.

14. Severability

If a court rules that any part of these terms is invalid or unenforceable, the rest stand. The problem section gets adjusted only as much as needed to make it work.
