NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with a local, Pennsylvania, or federal agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit decisions, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant evaluation, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its limited purpose is to identify criminal-record resources in Westmoreland County and Pennsylvania. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site operates independently from government. It does not hold official criminal records, submit filings, retrieve records for visitors, or run official checks.
Its material points toward the Westmoreland County Clerk of Courts, prison and sheriff offices, Pennsylvania State Police Central Repository, and Pennsylvania State Police Megan's Law Public Website. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.
Access to Pennsylvania agency records is governed by the Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law, 65 P.S. §§ 67.101-67.3104, while criminal-history dissemination and correction are governed by the Criminal History Record Information Act, 18 Pa.C.S. §§ 9101-9183. Those laws do not make this private site an official custodian.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is conditioned on an agreement not to:
- 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 information found here or through a linked tool may be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate. Misuse can be criminal. Pennsylvania registry data receives special protection: the Pennsylvania State Police Megan's Law Public Website exists for public safety, not vigilantism or prohibited discrimination against a listed person.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not produce consumer, credit, or background reports. Advertising partners likewise do not supply a site service for regulated screening. Information from this website or a linked tool must not be used 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
A regulated purpose requires an appropriate official Pennsylvania State Police channel or a service that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
The material is not legal advice. General descriptions of Westmoreland County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, expungement, or limited-access rule applies to an individual matter. Seek a licensed Pennsylvania attorney for that analysis.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are supplied "as is." There is no 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
Charges, dispositions, sealing, and expungement can change a record after publication. Gaps or delays may occur. Only the responsible court, police office, prison, sheriff, or state agency can make an official statement.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to government offices, court systems, legal resources, and outside services that we do not operate. We are not responsible for their availability, content, fees, privacy practices, or terms. Review the destination's rules before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Westmoreland County Criminal History or its content partners owns the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Copying, distributing, adapting, or building on that material requires prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for harm arising from use of the website, its content, or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law
Pennsylvania law governs these terms. A dispute tied to use of this website must be brought in a court located in Pennsylvania.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised, and a new version becomes effective when posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited or ended at any time, with or without prior notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue. The affected text will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.
