Questions about official Lancaster County criminal records belong with the government office that maintains the source file. This private resource cannot accept requests or issue documents. The contacts below route court files to Lancaster Clerk of Courts, custody material to Lancaster County Prison, police reports to the investigating agency, and statewide criminal history responses to Pennsylvania State Police.

This Is Not a Government Office. We run a private reference site. We cannot pull criminal records, run official background checks, remove or correct a record, or accept expungement filings for anyone. For any of those, you need to reach the right government office directly.
