Guam Free Public Police Records Database

By Claire Dowell


The US territory of Guam is home to more than a hundred and fifty thousand people, according to a 2010 census. And much like the other US territories, it has its own civilian government, which provides a variety of services and programs to its citizens, including access to Guam police records and other vital statistics documents. The government of Guam's official website contains a list of their offered services as well as information on how you can access public dossiers like birth certificates, death reports, marriage licenses, divorce decrees, and criminal history accounts.

When it comes to criminal arrest records in Guam, the Guam Police Department has the authority to provide civilians with access to criminal abstracts regarding their own cases. Because of the department's non-disclosure policy, actual police arrest reports are only released to a requester upon submission of a subpoena. Criminal abstracts are quite similar to a police report, but without the specific details. Only law enforcement officials and authorized government employees are permitted access to complete third party criminal backgrounds and arrest reports.

To acquire a criminal abstract from the Guam Police Department, the requester must submit valid photo identification, the correct case number of the arrest record he wants to access, and the $15 payment in cash or on-island-check. If the applicant is unable to fetch the requested document because of some unforeseen reason, another adult can pick it up for him. The individual who is going to stand in your place must also present a valid photo ID and a notarized authorization letter.

In situations where criminal abstracts are not sufficient enough for your research, especially when performing an in-depth criminal background check, the Law Enforcement and Crime Prevention services has a few online portals which civilians can access for free. Guam's Sex Offender Registry, for instance, is a free online service that provides ordinary individuals access to an extensive database of registered sex offenders. Details pertaining to these sexual predators are listed in their respective pages, including the level of their offense. Level One Offenders are particularly dangerous since these are the ones who are convicted of sexually violent crimes, while Level Three Offenders are those who have committed a sexual criminal offense against minors.

Besides the previously mentioned government information services and programs, the Guam Department of Corrections can also be a good source of criminal information. If you visit its website, you will find a few available methods in getting access to an inmate's prison history. Another possible online data gathering tool you can use is the Guam Crime Stoppers website. Here, you can search for active arrest warrants, arrest records, and other criminal history profiles. The site aims to efficiently stop crime by providing a reliable flow of information between law enforcement, media, and concerned civilians.

On the other hand, if convenient and cost-effective background checks are more in your alley, many established online record providers these days have the capability to disseminate accurate and up-to-date results. Comprehensive police reports and criminal history profiles from all fifty states and US territories are available for a nominal one-time fee. It's quick, easy, and no bureaucracy-induced headaches.
