The criminal records are categorized as either public or confidential. A lot of the records are considered as the latter, but there is still a lot of information that can be acquired in looking through Nebraska’s criminal records. Background checks could still be done, though in some cases in a limited manner. These checks include information such as the actions taken by the State Tax Commissioner and claims for injury filed with the Worker’s Compensation Court. Individuals could still learn a lot about a certain crime or offender by searching through the accessible information.

Record requests should be forwarded via mail at the Nebraska State Patrol Criminal Identification Division in Lincoln. The forms should be filled out completely (last name, first name, middle initial, alias, date of birth, social security number, and any other necessary information requested), otherwise your request would not be granted.
