Multi-Jurisdictional Database/Alias Search
Despite its limitations, this search is affordable for most Organizations and therefore Abuse Prevention Systems offers this search as a standalone product in our ‘Level 1.’ If your Organization has a budget for a deeper, more comprehensive search, it is highly recommended that a higher Level is ordered – particularly one with county searches (Level 3 and above).
Although the most affordable, Abuse Prevention Systems never recommends the Multi-Jurisdictional Database/Alias Search as a standalone search.
Caveat: Though this search sounds impressive, it provides a basic Multi-Jurisdictional Database Search. This is the primary product sold by Background Check vendors and is commonly represented as having significant value, when in fact its value is limited. The Multi-Jurisdictional Database Search has significant limitations, the most important of which is the incomplete nature of the data: not all records are available, some record sources aren’t computerized, and some states or counties do not sell or provide their data.
County Records Search
The majority of records related to sexual abuse and violent behaviors are prosecuted and maintained at the county level. County level searches reflect the most up-to-date records available from the county court of jurisdiction. County Records should be used as a baseline screening of applicants. Depending on the Level ordered, Abuse Prevention Systems runs either the applicant's current county of residence or an applicant’s residence history.
