NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not connected to a local, Pennsylvania, or federal government body. It and its advertising partners do not offer tools for credit decisions, employment screening, tenant screening, insurance underwriting, or another purpose controlled by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The resource helps readers locate Lackawanna County and Pennsylvania criminal-record channels. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference resource with no government affiliation. We do not keep official criminal records, retrieve government files, perform official checks, or submit documents for a visitor.
Its role is to identify the Lackawanna County police, prison, and court offices, the Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository, and the Pennsylvania Megan's Law Public Website that maintain relevant information. Some pages also connect to independently operated research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
As a condition of use, you must not:
- Use bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools on the pages
- Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
- Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access
- Use information to threaten, stalk, or harass a person
- Rely on site content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Violate any applicable local, Pennsylvania, or federal law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No information obtained here or through a linked service may be used to stalk, intimidate, threaten, harass, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. This restriction is especially important for the Pennsylvania Megan's Law Public Website. Pennsylvania State Police warns that registry misuse may produce criminal prosecution or civil liability. Registry publication supports public safety awareness, not confrontation, retaliation, or unlawful exclusion.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create background, credit, or consumer reports. Our advertising partners are not presented as providers for an FCRA-regulated decision. You agree that neither site information nor a linked tool will be used to:
- Determine eligibility for a government benefit, permit, or license
- Evaluate insurance eligibility or premiums
- Make a credit or lending decision
- Screen a housing applicant
- Make an employment decision
A lawful regulated purpose requires the appropriate official Pennsylvania State Police process or a qualified FCRA-compliant provider.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Pennsylvania attorney can assess how a Lackawanna County charge, warrant, conviction, limited-access rule, or expungement provision applies to a particular matter.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are supplied "as is." We make no promise that:
- An outside search provider's results will be complete or correct
- Pages contain no error, defect, or security weakness
- The service will remain uninterrupted
- Information is current, complete, or accurate at a given moment
Criminal records change as charges are filed or dismissed and records become limited, sealed, or expunged. Gaps and delays can occur. Nothing published here is an official statement from a Pennsylvania court, Lackawanna County office, police department, or state agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to county offices, Pennsylvania court portals, state agencies, legal resources, and outside search services. We do not control those destinations and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, charges, availability, or accuracy. Review each provider's terms before use.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Lackawanna County Criminal History or the applicable content partner. Copying, distribution, modification, or creation of derivative material requires prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from site use, linked services, or reliance on information found through either.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from a demand, claim, or action caused by your use of the website or violation of these terms, including associated legal costs and fees.
11. Governing Law
Pennsylvania law governs these terms, and a dispute tied to website use must be brought in a court located in Pennsylvania. Government record access remains subject to the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law, 65 P.S. §§67.101–67.3104, and judicial access policies where applicable. Dissemination of covered criminal-history information is governed by Pennsylvania's Criminal History Record Information Act, 18 Pa.C.S. Chapter 91.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these conditions. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue. The affected term will be changed only to the minimum extent needed for enforcement.
