Five free criminal background checks for every PACE member
Among PACE's many valuable services to its members is the criminal background check program developed with BIO-MED Testing Services.
Advantages
- The safety of students and potential liability from negligent-hiring lawsuits are a strong justification for pre-hire background checks. In Oregon, as in other states, lawsuits for negligent hiring are among the fast-growing areas of tort litigation.
- Using a national database, PACE members can conduct comprehensive pre-employment criminal history background checks both for both job applicants and volunteers. Better yet, the results come back on the same day.
Features
- PACE's background check scans nationwide information from the following sources:
- State court repositories;
- State Administrative Office of the Courts;
- Departments of Corrections;
- County court records;
- Traffic court records;
- State sex offender registries;
- Probation, parole and community service records.
- PACE pays for the first five background checks in a calendar year for each PACE member.
- The fee is just $29 per background check after that.
