New York Cities
New York has dozens of cities and towns with large populations spread across 62 counties. Criminal history records are handled at the county level, not by city offices. Knowing which county your city falls in is the first step to finding the right court and law enforcement records. The County Clerk keeps court case files, while the Sheriff's Office and local police departments handle arrest records and incident reports.
