How to Search Greece Criminal Court Records
Multiple search methods are available for finding criminal records from Greece cases.
The statewide Criminal History Record Search through OCA costs $95 per name. You need the full name and exact date of birth. Results come by email the next business day. Sealed records do not appear. Town court disposition data is limited in CHRS, so some Greece Town Court cases may not show up. The results are not certified, so you may still need a Certificate of Disposition for official use.
WebCrims is a free tool that shows pending criminal cases. Monroe County Court cases are not always covered by WebCrims. Check the system to see what is available for the Seventh Judicial District. You can search by name or case number. Updates happen four times a day.
In-person searches at the Monroe County Clerk in Rochester give you access to full felony case files. Bring the defendant's name and any available case numbers. Certified copies cost fees under CPLR 8019(f). For Greece Town Court misdemeanor records, contact the town court clerk.
Court records access in New York is controlled by Judiciary Law 255. Requests must go to the court clerk directly, not through FOIL. Police records from the Greece Police Department are separate and need a FOIL request to the department.
Criminal Record Sealing in Greece
New York's sealing laws affect what criminal records are visible when searching Greece cases. If a record has been sealed, it will not appear in public searches.
CPL 160.50 automatically seals records after a dismissal or acquittal. This includes ACDs. CPL 160.55 allows sealing of certain violation convictions after ten years without new arrests. CPL 160.58 covers sealing of up to two convictions for eligible individuals who have been clean for ten years after sentencing or release.
The Clean Slate law, CPL 160.59, started automatic sealing in 2024. Eligible misdemeanors seal three years after the sentence is complete. Eligible felonies seal after eight years. The law excludes violent felonies, sex offenses, and Class A felonies. Many old Monroe County cases, including those from Greece Town Court, will be affected over time.
You can check your own criminal record through DCJS. An "unsuppressed" report shows everything, including sealed records. Call 518-457-9847 or email RecordReview@dcjs.ny.gov.
