Besides searching for your family and friends criminal past, you can do some serious research on cases involving infamous public figures in Rhode Island. For example, former Rhode Island mayor Vincent “Buddy” Cianci, aka “The Prince of Providence” who was charged with extortion, black mail, simple assault/battery, and more! Was a charge dismissed? Did he receive jail time? You can find all that information and more at the Rhode Island Adult Criminal Information Database which contains information about criminal defendents searchable by name, document number, type of case, and date range of case. Records include detailed but unofficial case summaries which clearly describe charges made.
The Rhode Island page of State Agency Databases Across the Fifty States is maintained by Rebecca Blakeley.
