Isn't there a National Criminal Search through the FBI?
Yes, there is. However, this search is through the NCIC ( National Crime Information Center ) and is not a public record search. This database is restricted to employers who have specific governmental authorization, and there are strict penalties for buying information that is illegally obtained. The data requires a fingerprint card and is not yet available for commercial use. We recommend that our clients do criminal searches either through the county, the state repositories, and/or the federal court houses. You may also want to add our database search called CrimeTrack to your background check package as an enhancement to your criminal records search.
