I'm out $60 for two websites that offered to find police records, but all they do is link to websites.
Is there a reputable online site for finding someone's criminal record, or am I better off going to a local P.I.?
Can this be done locally?
It has been a while since you posed those questions, and background checks have become far more available and easier to use.

Now several companies offer criminal record background checks with easy instant results.

You do not need to go to a private investigator for a background check. He will be much more expensive, and the first thing he will do is to run an internet background check. You should run an internet background check first. Then, if you need more information you can go to a P.I. with a specific request.
Can this be done locally?
Yes and no. Yes, you can go to your local county web site (or courthouse) and look up a person's criminal record. The problem is that he could have committed a crime anyplace that he has ever been. So, if you are worried about that, then you should use a company that provide
nationwide background checks
.
The background checks can be very comprehensive including Current phone number, address, address history for 30 years, age, birthdates, household members, relatives, associates, property ownership, lawsuits, marriage, divorce, criminal records check, sex offenders, terrorist watch, bankruptcy, tax liens
