RELIABLE BACKGROUND SCREENING NEWSLETTER JUNE 2016

To yield proper results, we apply best practices and we review input for accuracy to prevent ‘garbage in – garbage out’ when reports are pulled. If we feel information may have been entered incorrectly, we always follow up with our clients. In addition, we advise our clients on what searches and products we would recommend based upon their specific background screening needs.

Please read the article below, which I recently wrote. This particular article explains how crucial it is to check government issued ID for valid criminal searches. You can always count on us to protect you by alerting you to potential problems with your methods of collecting information from those you need to background check.

Paris Hilton recently made her way through airport security, without her driver’s license. Luckily, Paris Hilton does not appear to pose much of a threat to anyone (regardless of how annoying many perceive her to be). While we can joke about it now, verifying somebody’s drivers license is serious business, especially in the background screening industry and for those companies and organizations that order background screening reports.

Reliable Background Screening consistently informs our clients of the importance of checking a government-issued ID before running a background check to ensure that proper results are returned and that our clients are screening the person that you intend they intended to screen.

There was a fifth-grade field trip that took place in South Carolina recently, and it was discovered that one of the chaperones was a registered sex offender. The chaperone in question was eventually removed from chaperoning the trip once the school received an anonymous tip that the person was indeed a sex offender. Of course, a thorough background check could have revealed this information and prevented a sex offender from being on the trip at any point in time.

Reliable Background Screening has been in the business of completing background checks for schools for many years and encourage all organizations to perform background checks on volunteers in addition to employees. It is not just our children who are at risk from sex offenders.

There are volunteers who target the elderly, the disabled, and other vulnerable populations, specifically who unfortunately are out there to perform inappropriate acts and take advantage of those who are most at risk vulnerable. And remember, when you do get run that background check, make sure to check their Government ID to ensure they are who they say they are.

They SHOULD Have Known! Is a monthly column written by Brett Troisi, Vice President, of Reliable Background Screening. Like everyone else at Reliable, Brett’s mission is to inform and educate the public of the importance of thorough background screening as a means for public safety.
