Request factual corrections and understand our editorial review, updates, clarifications, and escalation process.
Independent information: We are not a government agency, and an arrest is not proof of guilt.
What can be corrected
Examples include outdated agency links, incorrect instructions, wrong county or court names, misstated fees, misleading record definitions, and language that incorrectly treats an arrest as guilt.
How to submit a correction
Email [email protected] with the exact URL, the disputed text, the correction requested and a government source or document supporting your claim. Please omit unnecessary sensitive personal information.
Review process
A reviewer should acknowledge or categorize the issue internally, inspect the affected article, recheck the cited source and determine whether to correct, clarify, temporarily remove or retain the wording. Complex questions may require specialist or legal review.
Material changes
For consequential factual errors, editors should update the article and consider a visible correction note describing what changed. Harmless spelling fixes generally do not require a formal notice.
What a correction cannot do
Correcting an explanation on our site cannot remove an arrest from a police database, alter a court docket or change a state repository. Those requests must go to the legally responsible records custodian.
Appeals and follow-up
If the response misses relevant official evidence, provide additional references in a follow-up email. We do not promise that every disagreement will produce removal or that third parties will change their records.
