Massachusetts Criminal Records

Massachusetts is one of the 29 U.S. states that keep a central repository of Massachusetts criminal records. It is also one of the few states that make this database of Massachusetts criminal records available on the Internet. Called the Criminal Offender Record Information or CORI, this database contains information which Board-certified, non-criminal justice agencies such as schools, day care centers, home health aides, youth athletic coaches, and municipal government agencies can use. You, as a private citizen, may also request a copy of your own Massachusetts criminal records from the CORI Unit. Every month, the Unit has been known to process 100,000 Massachusetts criminal records at an average. And this number excludes those requested by law enforcement agencies.
Other services are offered by the CORI Unit aside from providing the public access to Massachusetts criminal records. For instance, the Unit may provide assistance to those who are seeking to correct inaccuracies in their Massachusetts criminal records. The basic functions of the CORI Unit is to help in the correction of inaccurate Massachusetts criminal records, investigates complaints of improper access to or dissemination of CORI, and provides legal assistance on matters relating to the CORI law to police, prosecutors, judges, and the public.
