NO FCRA USE. Multnomah County Criminal History is privately operated and has no affiliation with a local, Oregon, or federal government body. This website and its advertising partners do not offer services for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or another purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The resource helps visitors locate criminal-record channels in Multnomah County, Oregon. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site, operated independently of every government office. It does not store official criminal records, retrieve records, conduct official checks, or submit documents on anyone's behalf.
Its role is to identify the custodians of Multnomah County records, including the Sheriff's Office, Oregon Circuit Court, Oregon State Police Criminal Justice Information Services, and the Oregon Sex Offender Online Search. Some pages also connect visitors to outside tools that may assist their own research.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is permitted only if the visitor agrees not to:
- Violate federal, Oregon, or local law through use of the website
- Stalk, threaten, or harass a person using information encountered here
- Rely on site content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or restricted area
- Deploy bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools against the pages
- Interfere with performance, availability, or another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No one may use information from this website or a linked tool to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against another person. Such conduct may also violate the law. Oregon Sex Offender Online Search information warrants particular care: Oregon law prohibits misuse against a listed person and can impose criminal penalties. Registry information supports public-safety awareness, never vigilantism, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not produce background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. Its advertising partners likewise do not provide a service intended to screen applicants, evaluate rentals, set insurance rates, or judge creditworthiness through this site. Site or linked-tool data must not be used to:
- Make a hiring, firing, or other employment decision
- Evaluate a renter, tenant, or housing applicant
- Assess credit eligibility or establish an insurance premium
- Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
- Carry out any other activity governed by the FCRA
A check for an FCRA-regulated purpose must be obtained through an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider. An official Oregon criminal-history product may be available through Oregon State Police CJIS, but the requester remains responsible for selecting a legally suitable process.
5. No Legal Advice
Content is general information, not legal advice. Explanations of Multnomah County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or Oregon set-aside law affects a particular matter. A licensed Oregon attorney should address individual legal questions.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are supplied "as is." No guarantee is made that:
- Information will always be correct, complete, or current
- Website access will remain continuous or uninterrupted
- Pages will contain no defects, errors, or security vulnerabilities
- An outside search partner will return complete or accurate results
Criminal records change as charges are filed, dismissed, amended, or set aside. Updates can lag, and gaps cannot be ruled out. Nothing published here is an official statement of a court, sheriff, or government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to sheriff, court, Oregon agency, legal-aid, or outside search-service websites. Those destinations operate beyond this site's control. Responsibility is disclaimed for their content, data practices, charges, and availability. Review a destination's own terms before proceeding.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Multnomah County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, distribution, modification, or creation of derivative material requires prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent Oregon law permits, liability is disclaimed for damages arising from website use, including reliance on material found here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
Users agree to indemnify and hold the site harmless from claims, demands, or legal actions arising from their use or breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law
Oregon law governs these terms. Any dispute connected to use of this website must be brought in a court located in Oregon.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised from time to time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited or terminated at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
