Terms of Use

These conditions govern use of this website. Accessing its pages, reading its material, or submitting a search means that you accept all terms stated below. If you disagree with them, you must stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. This is a privately operated website with no connection to a local, Missouri, or federal government agency. Neither the website nor its advertising partners provides a service intended for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify Greene County and Missouri criminal-record resources. It is neither a private investigative service nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference website operates independently of government. It does not hold official criminal files, retrieve government records, conduct official background checks, or submit documents on a user’s behalf.

The content directs visitors to the Greene County Sheriff’s Office, the 31st Judicial Circuit courts in Springfield, the Missouri State Highway Patrol Criminal Justice Information Services Division Central Repository, and the Missouri Sex Offender Registry, along with outside research tools. Missouri public-record access is governed in part by the Sunshine Law, Chapter 610, and criminal-history dissemination by Mo. Rev. Stat. § 43.540.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the website, you agree not to:

  • Interfere with performance or prevent another visitor from accessing the website
  • Deploy a bot, scraper, or other automated process against the pages
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Rely on website content for an employment, housing, credit, or insurance decision
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass a person using information obtained here
  • Violate any applicable local, Missouri, or federal law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

You may not use information found here or through a linked service to stalk, intimidate, threaten, harass, or discriminate against anyone; such conduct may also violate criminal law. Missouri law limits misuse of Missouri Sex Offender Registry data and may impose criminal penalties for acts directed at a registrant. Registry information serves public-safety awareness. It is not a basis for vigilantism, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency as the FCRA defines that term. No background check, credit report, or other consumer report is created here. Our advertising partners and this website do not offer tools designed to evaluate applicants, rental requests, insurance rates, or credit. You agree that neither website information nor linked-tool data will be used to:

  • Carry out any other activity regulated by the FCRA
  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or public program
  • Evaluate credit or establish an insurance premium
  • Review a prospective renter or housing applicant
  • Make a decision to hire or terminate a worker

Anyone who needs a check for a regulated purpose must use the correct official process through the Missouri State Highway Patrol Criminal Justice Information Services Division Central Repository or an FCRA-compliant reporting company.

5. No Legal Advice

The website does not provide legal advice. General descriptions of Greene County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, or Missouri expungement law applies to a particular person. Seek advice from a lawyer licensed in Missouri.

6. No Warranties

All content and functions are supplied “as is.” We make no promise that:

  • A partner’s search result will be accurate or complete
  • The pages contain no defect, error, or security vulnerability
  • Access will always remain available or uninterrupted
  • Any information is complete, accurate, or current

Criminal files change when charges are brought, dismissed, closed, or expunged, so omissions and delays may occur. Website content is never an official statement from the Greene County Sheriff, a Missouri court, or another government body.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to sheriff websites, Missouri court portals, government agencies, legal-aid groups, and outside search providers. Following a link leaves this platform for a service we do not control. We accept no responsibility for that service’s content, privacy practices, availability, or charges. Review its own terms before proceeding.

8. Intellectual Property

Greene County Criminal History or its content partners own the website’s text, logos, graphics, and code. Unless written permission is obtained first, you may not reproduce, distribute, alter, or create derivative material from that content.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from website use, including a decision based on content found here or through an outside service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims, proceedings, or demands caused by your website use or violation of these conditions, including related costs and legal fees.

11. Governing Law

Missouri law governs these terms. Any dispute related to use of the website must be brought in a court located within the State of Missouri.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revision becomes effective when the updated terms are posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be modified only to the extent needed for enforceability.

15. Questions

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