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.
