Greene County, Ohio, has about 172,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). In Ohio the public criminal record is the court file, kept by the Clerk of Courts; the statewide criminal history kept by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is released only to its subject and to the employers and agencies the law allows. This guide says where each record of a criminal case from Greene County is kept and how it is seen.
This guide covers the court file, the statewide record, local arrest records, the crimes behind the records, the prosecutor, sex offender registry, records requests, directory links and common questions.

The Ohio Criminal History and Your Own Copy
The statewide criminal history kept by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is closed to the public in Ohio: it is released to its subject and to authorized employers and licensing agencies, and a member of the public uses the court's own case index instead.
