Who is exempt from doing a Live Scan?
Employees of Alameda County Public Safety Agencies who had a background check as part of the hiring process are exempt from this requirement. The Live Scan process provides background information to EMS on an ongoing basis, not just at the time of the initial check. Therefore, in order to receive this information for any subsequent arrests and/or convictions, everyone else, including employees of non Alameda County Public Safety Agencies is required to submit a Live Scan DOJ background check.
