USA CriminalSearch™
Multi-jurisdictional criminal databases combined with traditional
county criminal searches are becoming the new gold standard for
a thorough and complete pre-employment background check
County criminal searches go “a mile deep but an inch wide” to reveal the most
current and detailed data in specific counties where an applicant has lived and
worked. Expanding the scope of a background check to include multi-jurisdictional
databases (often called multi-state criminal databases or a national
criminal file) benefits employers with another layer of due diligence in the screening
process. Universal Background Screening’s USA CriminalSearch™ goes “an
inch deep by a mile wide” to uncover additional criminal convictions in locations
not covered by past address information.
Multi-jurisdictional criminal history
USA CriminalSearch includes criminal history data from statewide court repositories
from 22 states and department of corrections records from 45 states, resulting
in extensive coverage across 45 states plus the District of Columbia. With
additional court data from over 180 individual counties, the coverage represents
94% of the United States population.
USA CriminalSearch Plus™
When USA CriminalSearch is combined with USA OffenderSearch™, our nationwide
sex offender registry, and USA SecuritySearch™, a fourteen source antiterrorism
and national security database, the result is the most comprehensive
multi-source criminal database available to employers today. USA CriminalSearch
Plus™ includes over 240 million criminal, sex offender and security threat records
from an unequalled 320 data sources.
Verified information you can trust
Unlike the results from many multi-jurisdictional
criminal databases that can create information
overload due to unconfirmed results of common
names, Universal Background Screening’s
quality assurance team carefully reviews the
content of each USA CriminalSearch, positively
matching the applicant’s identity to the
record before reporting it to the employer. The
final background check is fully compliant with
Section 613 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)
and contains
verified information that managers can use with
confidence to make well-informed hiring decisions.
