The Massachusetts Criminal History and Your Own Copy
Massachusetts is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: open access iCORI lets anyone request limited conviction information by name, for $25 a search, through the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services. The result is the repository record, what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it. The search is on the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services site.
To see your own record, the route is a personal CORI request, free once a year online. The state page SearchSystems verified for it is at mass.gov/massachusetts-criminal-offender-record-information-cori.
Arrest Records Kept Locally in Attleboro
The Bristol County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Attleboro (filed by the FBI as Attleboro Police Department) keep the arrest records in and around Attleboro: the report and the booking record of each arrest stay with the agency that made it, separate from the court file and from the state repository.
The FBI's agency list also places four campus police departments, one state agency and one state police unit in Bristol County (the arrest records guide names each one); each keeps the records of its own arrests.
Together, the 19 agencies in Bristol County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 10,586 arrests to the FBI that year; how each case ended is in the court file, not in the arresting agency's.
The agencies and their counts, year by year, are in Attleboro arrest records.
