Criminals in Your Neighborhood? PeopleFinders.com Introduces Personal Safety Service With Launch of

SACRAMENTO, CA, Jul 21 (MARKET WIRE) --
PeopleFinders.com (www.peoplefinders.com), the premier online service
that helps consumers quickly find and connect with anyone, anywhere,
today announced the launch of CriminalSearches.com
(www.criminalsearches.com). CriminalSearches.com is a free Website that
provides consumers with detailed information on people with criminal
histories, including sex-related offenses, violent crimes and theft. In a
society where personal safety has become an important concern,
CriminalSearches.com provides useful information that will help families
feel secure in their neighborhoods and personal lives.

CriminalSearches.com enables consumers to make educated decisions about
the people they let into their personal lives. For example, a family may
decide to research a nanny or general contractor before letting that
person near loved ones. Prior to buying a new house, a single woman could
use the service to quickly determine how many sex offenders live in the
community. The service is also useful for singles in the dating scene who
want to know if their new love interest is really a perfect match.
According to a recent survey conducted by PeopleFinders.com, only 4
percent of respondents have ever run a background check on somebody they
met online. This lack of knowledge represents a potentially dangerous
proposition when meeting someone over the Internet.

Prior to CriminalSearches.com, people could find criminal information in
the public domain; however, it was typically difficult to locate and
required lengthy searches in multiple locations online and offline. For
example, typing in "criminal data" on Google yields more than 13 million
results. Using CriminalSearches.com, consumers are provided with accurate
criminal information in one convenient place free of charge.

"Unfortunately we live in a time where words like assault, robbery, rape
and homicide are frequently a daily headline," said Bryce Lane, president
and chief operating officer of PeopleFinders.com. "We created
CriminalSearches.com to help consumers make the most educated decisions
about the people they let into their personal lives and the lives of their
loved ones. Nowhere else will consumers find a free, comprehensive
personal safety service that matches the ease of use and accuracy of data
as CriminalSearches.com. Whether on a date, renting a room, spending time
with neighbors, or meeting new friends, people have the right, and now the
means, to know if there is a criminal in their life."

Criminal Search -- Information that Can Help Keep You Safe

CriminalSearches.com enables consumers to find information on criminals in
a variety of ways -- consumers can search by name, age, location or
offense category. People can also search for individuals who have
committed a specific type of crime in a region. For example, a user could
type in "Sacramento" and "Sex Offender," and in seconds they are provided
with information on criminals matching that description. Criminal offense
categories include behavioral, drug and alcohol, theft, sex-related,
violent, and business, among others.

Neighborhood Watch

The Neighborhood Watch feature on CriminalSearches.com allows users to
quickly discover if someone with a criminal record is living in the
surrounding community. Consumers simply enter a full address, or city and
state, and are presented with a map identifying people in the area with
criminal records. Consumers can click on the map to view detailed
information about the identified criminals including name, age, current
and previous addresses and complete criminal history. This information is
especially useful for parents interested in educating themselves about
people who may come into contact with their children.

Sex Offender Finder

The Sex Offender Finder provided on the site gives consumers the
opportunity to identify sex offenders living in a specified area. Search
results can include photos, physical descriptions and the last known
address for people with sex-related offenses in their records.

Criminal Activity Alerts

Criminal activity alerts make it easy for users to follow the criminal
history of people in their lives. Users specify the names of those they'd
like to track and are alerted via email or in their CriminalSearches.com
account when new information becomes available. For example, parents may
want to be alerted if criminal information appears on their child's
teacher, bus driver, sports coach or daycare provider.

CriminalSearches.com is available immediately at no charge. For more
