What is included in a National Criminal Database search?

A National Criminal Database Search helps to fill in the gaps in the employment screening process.  

Thanks to its nationwide scope, this search is able to provide a broad view of the candidate’s criminal history.  The National Criminal Database Search is a complementary product but should not be run by itself.  Although this search contains a large amount of criminal information, the records are matched off of first name, last name, and date of birth only.    This just means that any record pulled from a national criminal search should be verified by running a county search to make sure that the record does, in fact, belong to that specific applicant.

Comprehensive Employment Screening from the National Criminal Database Search

A National Criminal Database search draws from more than 504 million records and encompasses thousands of jurisdictions. This includes databases with sex offender and terrorist information.

Using a national criminal search allows the ability to:

• Search beyond counties and states where candidates have worked previously, attended school or lived, and
• Identify criminal records across thousands of sources across the country.
• Departments of correction and probation,
• Criminal records from country and township courts and state record repositories,
• Local, state, and federal fugitive lists, and
• Sex offender registries from all 50 states.
