Employment Criminal Background Checks

There is only one way an employee can get in a position to steal from you. YOU PUT THEM THERE! Criminal record searches are a critical component to employment screening programs. They provide protection for customers, clients, visitors and other employees and also provide a safe working environment. More importantly, criminal record searches can protect your business from many different types of threats and management problems. We offer several options for criminal history reporting including:

Social Security Number VerificationSSN Trace – The applicant’s social security number is traced through a vast resource of over 400 data sources including the national credit bureaus. This extremely useful tool is imperative in uncovering any additional names, aliases or addresses that the applicant may have utilized, but chose not to reveal during the application process. Furthermore, when combined with criminal history search tools, the social security trace is invaluable in making sure all known names and jurisdictions are covered while conducting the search. Secondly, the search will validate the year and state in which the Social Security Administration issued the number. This information can be useful in uncovering potentially fraudulent social security numbers.

Multi-Jurisdiction “National” Criminal – This is a “private database” search and “DOES NOT” include records from all states. This service DOES NOT substitute for an in-person courthouse search of criminal records and this product should only be used in conjunction with Statewide, Federal and County criminal searches. This reports contains a multi-jurisdictional compilation of criminal and sex offender records from “participating” states and counties across the US. NOTE: This service “used by itself” is a Non-Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) Compliant Product!

Statewide Criminal Investigations – States rely on data gathered within individual Counties for this reporting. The data collected within those Counties may contain arrest and felony records. States do not necessarily receive all the data from all Counties, therefore we recommend your Statewide searches be used in conjunction with County and Federal searches for a more complete investigation.

County Criminal Investigations – Records may include felony, misdemeanor, or criminal traffic incident data. This source tends to provide the most up-to-date applicant screening information. However, we strongly recommend combining this search type with Federal and State searches for the most thorough research.

Federal Criminal Investigations – If one is arrested by federal authorities and taken to a federal detention center, the likelihood is that the case will be handled in federal court.  It’s possible than an individual might not have a County or State criminal record, yet they might have a record from a Federal Court. Smuggling Controlled Substances, Internet Crimes, Large Quantity Narcotic Conspiracy Cases, Bank Robbery, Bank Fraud, Pornography Cases, Mail Fraud, Bribery of Public Officials, Crimes Committed on Federal Land, Interstate Crimes, these are all things that might appear on this report. We highly recommend combining this search with State and County record searches for the most thorough investigation.

Nationwide Sex Offender – US Department of Justice (DOJ) Sex Offenders Registry (SOR) search of offenders who are “required” to register. Sex offenders are considered to be a sexually violent predator when they have two or more convictions for an offense, and/or have been convicted under Title 18, U.S. Code. Section 2241 – Aggravated Sexual Abuse. Address verification is required on a yearly basis, but for those who have been designated as a sexually violent predator, address verification is required every 90 days.

Homeland Security Fugitive & Terrorist Watch List – Extensive database of National & International Terrorist and Fugitives. Data from over 137 sources, including but not limited to DEA Major International Fugitives, DEA Most Wanted Fugitives, Defense Trade Controls (DTC) Debarred Parties, FBI Crime Alerts, FBI Fugitives – Crimes Against Children, FBI Fugitives – Cyber Crimes, FBI Fugitives – Criminal Enterprise Investigations, FBI Fugitives – Domestic Terrorism, FBI Fugitives – Violent Crimes: Additional, FBI Fugitives – Violent Crimes: Murders, FBI Fugitives – White Collar Crimes, FBI Kidnappings & Missing Persons, FBI Most Wanted Terrorists List, FBI Parental Kidnappings, FBI Seeking Information, FBI Seeking Information on Terrorism, FBI Televised Sexual Predators, FBI Top Ten Most Wanted List, Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals (SDN), Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations Most Wanted Fugitives, U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms (ATF) Most Wanted, U.S. Bureau of Industry & Security Denied Entities List, U.S. Bureau of Industry & Security Denied Persons List, U.S. Bureau of Industry & Security Unverified Entities List, U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) Most Wanted Fugitives, U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) Most Wanted Human Smugglers, U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) Wanted Fugitive Criminal Aliens, U.S. Marshals Service 15 Most Wanted, U.S. Naval Criminal Investigate Service (NCIS) Most Wanted Fugitives, U.S. Postal Inspection Service Most Wanted, U.S. Secret Service Most Wanted Fugitives and many International sources.

NAPS – Drug Detection & Physical Testing Program

(Collection Site Types and Out of Network Procedures)

There are 3 types of collection sites within the NAPS ordering system.

Patient Service Center (PSC) – Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp owned and operated collection facilities.  These are the most cost effective for specimen collection services.

In-Network

Typically provide basic collection services (urine collection, hair collection, etc.)

Highest chance of being e-Chain (electronic chain of custody form) capable

Preferred Provider Network (PPN) – Independently owned and operated facilities contracted with a specific laboratories for specific services at a flat rate.  This is the 2nd most cost effective solution for collection services, if a PSC is not available

In-Network

Quest only partner association (LabCorp currently does not utilize a PPN network)

High chance of being e-Chain (electronic chain of custody form) capable

May offer more unique services (BATs, Physicals, etc.)

Third Party Administrator (TPA) – Independently owned and operated facilities that our MRO contracts with directly. Sometimes is more convenient, however, the fee structure is typically a cost plus model where we pass through the fee of the service(s) being performed and then add on any additional fees such as Lab/MRO, Data Entry, and Vendor management as needed. Fees are determined by independent owner/operator of facility. It is recommended that Third Party sites be the last method of scheduling if possible.

Out of Network

Performs most types of collections for a variety of laboratories

Low probability of e-Chain (electronic chain of custody form) capability, paper chain of custody required for collection services

VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Based on the above information, your available network will typically be set up with PSC’s to show as a “first priority” collection facility.  If no PSC’s are available within your pre-set mile radius, our system will display any “PPN” sites that can provide the requested service and are e-chain capable.

If no PPNs are available, the system will either:

  1. Pull in any Third Party Sites you have previously approved to be set up in your defined network
  2. Display an error message informing the client/donor to contact customer service for next steps. This is advised for cost control purposes.
  3. Upon notification of the need for TPA services outside of the network, Our team will initiate a collection site match with our MRO (Medical Review Officer) Collection Site Management Team by sending an email containing a zip code and required service(s). Our team will provide collection site details for a local clinic typically within 24-72 business hours. You can then decide whether to proceed with the collection. If so, our MRO will protocol the site (contact to establish guidelines) and send paper chains of custody if needed (FedEx/UPS acct# required for overnight orders).

NAPS Background Checks utilizes SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration)/NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse) certified laboratories for occupational testing requirements. We provide rapid turnaround time of results and collection site management. This makes our company a valuable partner in your occupational testing program. To ensure a smooth transition, NAPS has a dedicated implementation program, which handles all phases of the transition including account setup, collection site selection, client location notifications and instructions to personnel.

Collection service centers are located Nationwide. * On-site mobile collection services require advance notice and certain restrictions apply.

We are MRO Certified! All drug testing is processed by our independently certified Medical Review Officer to assure the integrity of the test. We ensure that all tests are correctly interpreted. This important function safeguards that an applicant/employee is not unfairly affected by the test. The American Association of Medical Review Officers (AAMRO) and/or the Medical Review Officer Certification Council (MROCC) certify our MRO. By utilizing MRO services, you can be assured the accuracy and reliability of the drug test results will hold up if any legal issues should arise.
