Where To Go For Extensive Criminal Background Searches There is a national database for criminal records that employers can access, but usually only if the employer is trying to hire someone in a field that deals with children, the elderly or the disabled. It is called The National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and is maintained by the FBI. If you are not allowed access to the NCIC, however, don't fret. There are companies that can help you do extensive criminal background checks.
For example, the
online company www.Veromi.com can do a national criminal background check of the Department of Corrections (DOC), the Administration Office of the Courts (AOC) and the Department of Public Safety (DPS) among other agencies.
Here is what a search of those agencies
can do for you:
- The DOC contains records of individuals who have been convicted of felonies from the superior court level and have been sentenced to probation or more than 12 months in prison
- The AOC and DPS data contains misdemeanor convictions from both the superior and municipal court level
