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.
