Background Check Services

Criminal Background Checks - GROUPONE 

County Criminal Research
A specific search of county court records for felony or misdemeanor court dispositions. The employer determines the counties to be searched based upon address history or can ask GroupOne to determine counties and submit background screening requests. Statewide and so called "National" databases are repositories of County information. GroupOne has always encouraged its clients to utilize county information over databases, however database criminal information provides additional due-diligence and coverage.

Federal Criminal Research
Violations of Federal Law are not found in county records. Location of the information depends upon jurisdiction and where the charge was filed. The federal court system is organized by districts, and is searched similarly to county records. Unlike county courts, federal records can be searched statewide or nationwide. Unlike county courts, matching identifiers are not readily available in Federal records.

Multi-State Criminal and Sex Offender Database Check
GroupOne offers a Multi-State Criminal Search, which provides the speed of a database criminal search with the scope going beyond single states. This is not a "national" search. Not all states provide access to all levels of the criminal records held in the state's repository. Jurisdictions at all levels (state, county, federal) are sometimes months or years behind in posting criminal records or changes. It is wise to utilize this type of research as either preliminary or backup research to actual county searches.

Statewide Criminal Database Checks
Some states maintain repositories of criminal information submitted by the county courts and local law enforcement authorities in that state. HHS/OIG, and other regulatory bodies often require that these be checked for certain positions. GroupOne conducts these searches as well, but does not recommend them for primary source information.

Sex Offender Registry
Individuals convicted of certain sexual offenses are required by the court
system to notify local law enforcement, and thereby 'community' of their
residence. The sex offender registry is a repository of this information,
and reflects current addresses as reported, not according to the location
of any offense. Not all states maintain these registries, at least as a
matter of public record.
