Do they check criminal records before arriving to the scene?

That's purposefully missing the point. If you've committed crimes before you lose almost every bit of benefit of the doubt. It's a pattern of behavior. If you rob a bank and go to jail, then once released you're found in the parking garage of a bank with a balaclava on & a weapon. You don't get the benefit of the doubt from me.

So for these cases, when a police officer says the perp did A and the perp claims B. When it comes out the next day that the guy had a criminal past you immediately lose all benefit of the doubt from me. You're a proven criminal and I'm not going to trust a word you say.
