Court Records

Criminal court records show the criminal history of a person, including traffic infractions and misdemeanor and felony crimes. These records are available online through the Office of Court Administration. These records include information about the defendant, charges, the timeline of hearings, arrest dates, physical description of the offender, offender’s attorney, and the judge hearing the case. Mugshots may be available through the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office. You can search by name, case number, or date filed. You can request court records from the Open Records Officer for most court records, with the exception of US District Court records.
