Identify individuals with documented abusive behavior against adults or children through a database search of state Departments of Health. While this search is not available in all states, it does provide additional insight into candidates seeking to work with “vulnerable” populations at childcare and healthcare facilities.

Search is ideal for:

Medical professionals
Volunteers
Coaches
Childcare workers
Nannies

The turnaround time can be between 1 and 10 days, depending on the state(s) searched. Some state registries maintain small staffs, have manual files or require a manual release form, resulting in longer turnaround times. Contact us to learn the average turnaround time for the registries you are interested in including in your background screening package.

Sex offender registry searches are your next area to search for child and adult abuse offenders. Additional state and county criminal searches may also report abuse cases not available in those registries.
