Default Re: How to do a background check?

That depends greatly on the laws from area to area. Here in Louisiana, the only people that get get background checks done (which are done here via the local Sheriff's office for about $35) are law enforcement or licensed PI's. There are companies that do BGC's for other companies, but I believe the information in considered private and not openly distributed.

Best bet would be to find someone who knows someone (police friend, etc) who can get it done, or hire a PI which will cost you a bit.



I must comment on how unusual your request is though. Is her cooking really that bad?

www.ussearch.com

It may cost you a couple dollars but it sure beats looking through dozens of websites and hours of your time.

Bad idea if you value your "friend's" job.....I know police who have been suspended and even fired for running criminal histories as a "favor" for people.

we had to do a security training online at the academy and one of the questions was in regards to doing background checks for someone as a favor, big time no no.

Exactly. This applies in the private sector. I knew a paralegal who was fired for performing a background check on a famous celebrity.

That is the first thing I was told when we learned how to use NYSPIN to run registrations, warrant checks, ect. Never run anything unless asked by a Police Officer. Freelancing will get you fired and most likely have the State Police arrest you.

Mark,
All varies by states.
Possible privacy issues if not authorized by the person who it is being run on.
Possible issues for anyone doing you a favor and running this stuff as could lose their job.
I deal with backgrounds extensively as part of managing a fraud investigation operation for numerous states.
Best advice I can give you, if you want to save time of doing all the legwork yourself, Google it and see how much it will cost you and how much can you legally secure in your state via a PI or vendor that specializes in this type of data collection.
Doing it yourself is tough. As an example, I recall when I bought my condo in Miami for my mother in law. They wanted a background done on me via the Sheriff's department for the county I reside in. Well, in Florida, when I got the background for them, it was for Palm Beach, where I reside. The condo is in Miami. If I would have had a record in Miami or any other county, they would not have known. They would have needed a report from each and every county in Florida. Whereas in contrast, there is a Florida website that does in fact provide all that. Just a matter of knowing where to go for your data.

That is true. In Louisiana, it's a pretty common thing though. We're a bit backasswards here
