How does one even learn that a person has a police record (other than personal knowledge)? Is there a list somewhere?

If you knew a time period, like a week or month, couldn't you search the newspaper? Seems to me they put police arrests, etc. in the paper years ago. Matter of fact I was on the front page of a section in 1980, and the call was listed. Maybe you could try that. Court cases used to be listed as well. I know that here in Minneapolis the paper quit doing the log due to volume. The neighborhood papers quit doing the log because they wanted people to get a good impression (like they don't listen to the news). Anyway, it couldn't be anymore difficult than trying to find an obit in the 1920s...
