Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of Monroe County Criminal History. Accessing the website means that you agree to them. Do not continue using the site if you reject any part of these terms.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with Monroe County, Pennsylvania, or any government body. The site and its advertising partners do not offer tools for employment screening, credit decisions, tenant evaluation, insurance underwriting, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). We provide reference material about official Monroe County and Pennsylvania record sources. We are neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no government connection. It cannot retrieve an official record, perform an official background check, file a request, or store government criminal-history files.

Our material directs readers to the Monroe County Clerk of Courts, the agency that created a police report, Monroe County Correctional Facility, the Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository, and the Pennsylvania State Police Megan's Law Public Website. Access to executive-branch government records is subject to the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101 et seq., while judicial records follow court access rules. Some pages also connect to outside search providers.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Interfere with the site's performance or another visitor's access
  • Use a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool on the pages
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
  • Use site information to threaten, stalk, or harass a person
  • Make a housing, employment, insurance, or credit decision from site content
  • Violate a federal, Pennsylvania, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

You may not use information found here or through a linked tool to intimidate, stalk, harass, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Misuse may violate the law. Pennsylvania applies specific warnings to the Pennsylvania State Police Megan's Law Public Website, whose data is meant for public safety rather than vigilante action, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination. Pennsylvania criminal-history dissemination is also governed by 18 Pa.C.S. § 9121 and related CHRIA provisions.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create a credit report, consumer report, or background check. No service offered here or by an advertising partner is designed to review job applicants, rental applications, insurance risk, or creditworthiness. You must not use site or linked-tool data to:

  • Set insurance premiums or evaluate credit
  • Choose whether to hire or dismiss a person
  • Review a renter or housing applicant
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or public program
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated action

A check for a regulated purpose must come from an authorized, FCRA-compliant provider or the official process required by law, not this site.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is not legal advice. General information about Monroe County records cannot determine how a charge, warrant, conviction, limited-access rule, or expungement law applies to one case. Seek advice from a licensed Pennsylvania attorney.

6. No Warranties

All content and features are supplied "as is." We make no promise that:

  • A partner search result is complete, current, or correctly matched
  • The website will always be available without interruption
  • Each page is free of bugs, errors, or security flaws
  • Every item of information remains accurate and complete

Charges may be amended or dismissed, and records may later be restricted or expunged. Updates can lag. Nothing published here is an official statement from a Pennsylvania court, Monroe County office, police department, or other government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to county offices, court portals, Pennsylvania agencies, legal resources, and outside search services. We do not control those destinations. Their availability, content, fees, data practices, and terms are their responsibility. Review the destination's rules before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Monroe County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. You may not reproduce, change, distribute, or create derivative material from that content without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the greatest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from use of the site, including reliance on information found here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your use of the site or breach of these terms, including related legal costs and fees.

11. Governing Law

Pennsylvania law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to site use must be brought in a court located in Pennsylvania.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. A revision takes effect when the new text is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may restrict or end access at any time, without advance notice and for any reason.

14. Severability

If one provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms stay effective. The affected language will be changed only as much as required to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

Questions about these conditions may be directed through the Contact page.
