• Though perceived as all encompassing, the FBI database is not considered reliable as a single source for background screening purposes - it is recommended that other sources be used to supplement the FBI search • Fingerprint matching – prints must be on file • Significant time lags from reporting states • Inconsistent reporting requirements from state to state • Limited reporting of case dispositions (45 – 50 %) • Serious issues in depository data linking • Return delays

National Databases

• “National” is a misnomer: – While current multi-jurisdictional databases contain millions of records (often 900-million or more), there exists no single, national database that contains all criminal records in the US • These databases include only those records from various government and law enforcement entities, counties, sex and violent offender registries and other sources that have been made available for purchase • Data cannot be 100 percent accurate, complete or up- to-date • “Clear” product is not Compliant with Licensing or Hiring

Databases - continued

• Data structures are not always reliable: – When combining several different databases into one, the methods used to structure the data will impact search results – For example, when a query is done using “ROBERT SMITH,” results returned may or may not include ROBERT A, BOB, BOBBY, and ROBERTO … whether separate queries must be made for each name varies from one database to another • Extraction Technology often applied • Ensure identifiers • Avoid duplicated records • Use as pointer only, “Hits” must be verified

12/6/18

• A county criminal search is a deep search, usually conducted in person, for a particular county • Latest and most complete information available, revealing the greatest level of detail • Most common for employers and regulators • Misdemeanor and felony • Co-located records – What most people don’t know … • Limited in scope • Fees should NOT vary County Criminal Records

State Repositories

• Limited access • Not available in all states • Often require additional release • Often lack disposition • Six (6) have closed records • Not all counties contribute • Fees

• Online searches have limited search criteria and most often are “name match only” • When using an online source, always use an address locator and other sources to find aliases and other identifiers • While many online court networks actually search court dockets, most networks do not include all jurisdictions • All online searches should still be verified at the county level

12/6/18

• Automated searches: Extraction • Search criteria NOT flexible • Name match only • Not available in all counties (approx. 1/3 of 3144) • Often no disposition • Require additional research • Subject to change

International Screening

NIGAMaster Certification Series

Screening Issues are Global • May 2018: UK’s General Data Protection Regulation will be effective and enforceable. This regulation imposes strict requirements for the handling of personal data for all businesses in the UK and outlines the penalties for non-compliance and how the rules will be applied. • November 2017: Australia shares US anti-discrimination laws relating to hiring. For example, employers cannot conduct a criminal records search while a person is employed without express consent of the employee or use a person’s criminal record to deny employment, unless they can prove it is directly job-related.

• October 2017: The GDPR issued guidelines for employers and businesses that address profiling and automated decision-making.

• June 2017: Jamaica joins other countries in the fight to put ex-offenders back to work. Qualified individuals who have committed minor crimes now have the right to have their records expunged according to the Criminal Record (Rehabilitation of Offenders) Act.

• May 2017: Israel reconsiders the current storage of criminal records, acknowledging that the current records in Hebrew only are not applicable to International Screening

• February 2017: APAC releases survey results indicating 1 in 5 APAC job applicants submitted false information on job applications.

12/6/18

International Screening is Growing

• Recent Industry M & A activity. • More companies are becoming global or have global workforces. • Increased employer focus on Criminal Searches, Verification of Employment and/or Education outside the U.S. • Increased employer focus on searches in addition to International Criminal (i.e. Credit, Civil, ID Verifications, etc.). • The overall rise in types of international screening services available. • According to recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 15.9% of the total U.S. workforce were foreign-born.

International Screening is Growing • Risks associated with not screening are too high. • Heightened awareness of global

security risks since 9/11. • Costs are coming down. – Competitive Marketplace – Recognized Means of Economic Development • Myths are becoming less relevant.
