Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

When a drug arrest is made of a Bahamian citizen in the US and said citizen is charged as a co-defendant with a US citizen, what would be the normal procedure for law enforcement to obtain any prior criminal history/record from the Bahamas? If a prior history is requested, in your experience, is this a standard operating procedure?
