The Department of Public Safety is Vermont’s biggest law enforcement agency. One of its charters is to provide criminal information. The public can access records pertaining to crime through its Criminal Justice Services Division. Within this division is the Vermont Criminal Information Center (VCIC), a web-based system for criminal background checks. It also functions as the State’s central repository for all records related to contact with the criminal justice system including arrest data. In addition, Vermont Police Records can be requested from the Vermont State Police (VSP). The VSP is another division of the Vermont DPS.
