If someone was arrested for it, it will always be on their arrest record unless they were a juvenile at the time of the offense. If a person was convicted of the crime, then again it will always be on their record. In some cases a lawyer can be hired and a person's record can be expunged to take it off their record. Also that information might not be put on their record to begin with if there was a plea bargain or sentencing agreement.
forever
This varies. Some states do not place a entry on your public criminal record at all for a non-charge arrest. Some will have an entry for a given period. A charged offense will be entered but the duration is dependent on your age and the charge.Another View: You will have no record of your PROSECUTION. However, unless the arrest occurred before your 18th birthday, the record of your ARREST will continue to exist unless it is expunged by court order.
for life
Public record remains public record forever, unless something is sealed.
The default is the remainder of the sentence. Being let out on probation is a privilege and not a right.

The Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services uses the AOC background check in order to process applications. In most states, incidents are viewed on a case by case basis. Mitigating factors are how long ago the incident occurred, was anyone harmed, and has there been any repeated problems. One arrest for public intoxication which occurred in the past may not automatically prevent one from becoming a Paramedic.
Many law enforcement agencies post arrest logs online. Some may only post recent arrests, but some also post arrest records for up to 30 days, and sometimes even longer. These logs usually include information such as name, arrest date and location, charges, and bail information. Sometimes a mugshot is also provided. If the arresting agency does not provide this information online, arrest records can be obtained by contacting the arresting agency. As long as the arrest record is not sealed by a judge, the record is public information.
In New York, your arrest stays on your record forever. However, if you get a dismissal, A.C.D., acquittal after trial, or plead guilty to a violation, your record may be sealed. Your fingerprints and photos will be kept in the criminal justice computers. Potential employers generally won't have access to your fingerprint record or arrest record if your information is sealed.
Forever. Never leaves you.
Just because the State declined to prosecute the charge does not mean the record of your arrest goes away. Unless you take legal action to have it expunged, the record of your arrest will always exist.
