You may use the free resources below to check parole dispositions and hearings, Supreme Court cases, Department of Corrections inmates, federal inmates, statewide registered offenders, federal criminal court records (through the inexpensive PACER system), and available county databases for inmates and arrests.
3) Montana Department of Justice. Use the “Criminal Histories” resource below to order a statewide criminal record history from the Montana Department of Justice (DOJ). Searches are $11.50 each and can be ordered and received instantly online. Records include arrests, detentions, sentences, correctional status, and release information. As the DOJ does not provide federal records, we recommend also a search for federal inmates and federal court records, per option 1 above.
