Most of our staff are public safety employees, and as such have already been fingerprinted and had extensive background checks completed by their employer. Why do we need to complete another check?
Due to current privacy laws, your employer is not allowed to share information without your consent, and the DOJ will not allow us (even with your consent) to access any prior history/reports. We apologize for the inconvenience of the process, but there are NO other options. We hope you can all understand the necessity for the process, and the current demands to provide assurance that those entrusted with the care of children are appropriate to do so.
