So why is Criminal Background and Drug Screening such a HOT TOPIC today?
Business Trends & Contractual Requirements l l l 11 Global Companies are proactively applying consistent standards of consumer protection, and best service practices and avoiding mandates “In past 2 years there has been a significant increase in requests for criminal screens of employees at all layers of an organization and within all foreign borders. ” – Lexis. Nexis Contractual Requirements for service fulfillment mandate compliance standards
From a Customer’s Viewpoint Would you invite a known Sex Offender in to your home? Or a convicted thief? Violent criminal? When you schedule service, do you assume the service provider is not one of the above?
National Statistics: USA l l l l One Murder every 33 minutes One Violent Crime every 5. 5 seconds One Assault every 6. 5 seconds One Burglary every 10 seconds One Rape/Sexual Assault every 2 minutes One Identity Theft reported every 6 minutes One in 6 Women is a victim of Attempted or Completed Rape Source: Sue Weaver Cause

The Media Highlight Marquee Companies when things Go Wrong 16

Consumers use sites like: www. Family. Watch. Dog. US
Without Completing a Background Investigation, you Never Really Know There are over 550, 000 registered sex offenders in the US. Over 100, 000 sex offenders fail to register in the US. Over 1, 000 Sex Offenders change their address everyday. Source: www. familywatchdog. us/facts. asp
How Safe do Consumers Feel when Individuals are in their Homes? Or After? 20
So what makes a good Criminal Background and Drug Screen that MINIMIZES RISK while MAXIMIZING VALUE?
Background Screens Vary in Price & Depth – No Consistency or Standard Variability of Rates are biggest complaint: – – – “Internet Specials” or “Teaser Rates”; “Low as $9. 99*” Ala carte Services increase costs Hidden “Access Fees” Multiply if Courts Searched Requires “Company Set-Up” Fees Results are not “Portable” Plus. One and USA supports “Adopting a Standard” And what you get, is not always what you need: – – – 22 – “National” Database or CPIC Only Single Local Court Search Only Missing Searches Non-compliance to FCRA or PIPEDA mandates
What’s Included in a “National Search” (Most Offered Searches) Not all Courts Report Up l l 17 States Do Not Report Misdemeanors and Most Felonies. Some only Sex Offenders. Counties Vary in Reporting – – 23 Seminole County FL reports ALL RECORDS Orange County FL reports NO RECORDS Unconfirmed Data reported such as “Name Match Only”
Top 6 Questions Screening Companies Do Not Want to Answer 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 24 Do you run a report to develop all known names and addresses to search against? Do you SEARCH ALL COUNTY COURTS for “Developed Names, Aliases, and Addresses” Regardless of the National Search? Does this Include a Driver’s License Search? Do you also search the Department of Justice Sex Offender Database and Federal Courts? Are all ACCESS FEES and Other Charges Included? Do you handle all “FCRA Mandated” Pre-Adverse Communication?
To Start: Four (4) Pieces of Data Are Critical To be effective, applicants must provide: – – Proper Name (+ Mother’s Maiden Name in Puerto Rico) Current Address Date of Birth SSN Anything short, or in error, results in improper results or “False Positives” 25
“De facto” Standard Background Screen Complete 7 -year check for all county courts of residence, including: l l l l Search for all residential addresses in prior 7 years County FELONY & MISDEMEANOR search for arrests, charges, & convictions and a state level search, if applicable National database search for felony and misdemeanor records Federal Court Search in current Federal jurisdiction in which the applicant resides OFAC (Office of Foreign Asset Control) restricted person search National & State Sex Offender Registries State Motor Vehicle Record review Social Security Number Verification
“De Facto” Standard Drug Screen 9 -Panel Urinalysis Drug Screen: l Tetrahydrocannabinol “THC” (marijuana, hashish) l Amphetamines l Cocaine (Incl. Crack Cocaine) l Opiates (Heroin, Opium, Morphine, Codeine) l Phencyclidine (PCP) l Methamphetamine (Incl. Ecstasy) l Methadone l Barbiturates l Benzodiazepines
Screening Governance and Handling Differences Between EMPLOYEMENT SCREENS versus a CERTIFICATION SCREEN?
Screening Industry & Collection of Personal Data is Highly Governed “Industry Watchdogs” range from Consumer Protection Advocates to the Federal Government: – – – Federal and State Trade Commissions Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and other similar State Acts/Regulations Driver’s Privacy Protection Act Federal & States Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRA): Lexis. Nexis, Choice. Point, First Advantage, USIS, etc. Annual On-Site Certifications
Significant Differences when used for Employment Reasons vs. Job Access l Employment Screens l l Highly Governed by State Laws and EEOC Requires Strict Adherence to Regulations and Processes Cannot be selective Certification Screens (Contractual Clauses) l l l Fewer Regulations Governing Contractual Requirements Do not necessarily effect employment status Only impacts certain jobs requiring access (i. e. Government Facilities, Schools, Safety Related, Contract Requirements, etc. ) 30
When an Individual Pre-Adverse Condition Appears Typically falls to Employer creating liability. Plus. One provides a level of protection to Servicing Companies by adhering to all FCRA Mandates regardless if “Employment” or “Requirement” Screen: 1. 2. 3. 4. 31 5. Provide an official copy of Screening Results Provide their “Summary of Rights” Provide a letter stating why they were not cleared and what options they have available Provide Adequate time and follow-up Protect applicant’s information/data retention
Not All Convictions and Service Technicians are Equal Disqualifying convictions “may place consumer, family, and her possessions at risk. ” Results vary by Industry and Education Level with Lower Failures seen with: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Increased Work Skills Higher Education Trade Licensed Industry Certified Association Membership High Failure Rates found in “Fly-by-Night”, “Trunk Slammers”, and other “Non-Professionals” 32
Viewed as an Industry HR Service Vendor Credentialing acts as a Service Industry Human Resource Department: l l Protecting the rights of the individual, the servicing company, and the retailers, manufacturers, and third party administrators Managing the all aspects of the Compliance Program – l Summary reporting to the technician & component level; – – 33 Communication, Applications, Scheduling, Decisions, FCRA, PIPEDA, OPC, and Global Processes, Disputes/Appeals, Reporting, Information Retention, and Data Protection Criminal, Driving, OFAC, Drug, etc. Pass, Fail, In-Process, and other indicators
