County Criminal Searches- Background Checks Demystified On this show I talk about County Criminal Searches and why they are a vital part of the background screening process. A county criminal search is the way in which records found on a national criminal search are verified. The county criminal search is also the way in which you can pull records from the many counties that are not searchable via a National Criminal Database search. In states like New York and California a county criminal search is a must if you want to have a comprehensive look at the background of the subject you are screening. A single county criminal search in addition to a National Criminal Search with SSN trace is a starting point, but it is recommended that you conduct a three county criminal search or statewide county criminal search (only select states offer this) to get all criminal records. One recommendation is that you do not run a county criminal search as a standalone search. Run the National Criminal Database search and SSN trace first and build from there. +++++ I am passionate about Risk Mitigation. I want educate business owners on what they can do to mitigate risk in their businesses and how protect themselves from those in their inner circle. I will also be providing some strategic advice on how to be prepared for, investigate and deal more effectively with litigation and workers comp claims if and when they arise. And now a little bit of background on me. I have been an investigative consultant to businesses and legal counsel for over 15 years. I am a license private investigator in the state of California and have testified as an expert in case involving Workers Comp, Counterfeiting and a variety of other civil cases. I own and operate my own Investigative Consulting business here in California and I enjoy speaking to businesses and law firms about current trends in litigation, technology and investigative strategy. I believe that businesses must implement certain strategies to mitigate exposure to Embezzlement, Fraud, Workers Comp Claims, Trade Secrets theft and many other employment related claims. In today’s litigious environment you cannot eliminate law suits, but you can implement practices to reduce overall exposure.
