Frequently Asked Questions
Q.) How many records are in the National Criminal Check?
A.)
Our database has over 500
million records including all 50 state sex offender registries.
The database contains Department of Corrections,
Administrative Office of the Courts, Department of Public Safety and
certain county records.
A.)
Many sex offenses are
pled down to avoid a lengthy trial. Therefore, by
just searching the Sex Offender Registry, you would miss records
that actually contain a charge against a child.
In addition, the Sex Offender registry does not contain violent
felons or other crimes to children like distributing drugs.
Q.) Should I run a county search in addition
to the National Criminal Check?
A.)
We always suggest running
a County Search in addition to the National Criminal Check.
However, most Volunteer organizations cannot afford the
additional cost. The best blend for these
organizations is to run a County Search where data sources are
limited or unavailable.
Q.) What is the cost to sign up, the cost of
the search and are there any monthly charges?
A.)
There is no cost to sign
up and no monthly charges. The only cost is the
cost per search which is in the low single digits depending on
volume etc… Our searches are subsidized by our partnership and
therefore offered at very low cost to the community.
Q. How do I sign up?

Q. Why should I choose your company over all
the other providers in the market?
