COUNTY LEVEL COURT RECORDS
When conducting a pre-screen background investigation, a criminal history is of utmost importance.  These searches typically are placed in two main categories: arrest records and court records.  The use of each category has its strengths and weaknesses, so it is important for you to evaluate what you are trying to achieve to determine which is best for your application.

SEARCH INCLUDES ENTIRE STATE OF RESIDENCE. COVERS A SEVEN YEAR HISTORY, BOTH FELONY AND MISDEMEANOR. YOU GET DETAILED RECORDS INCLUDING STATE POLICE ARREST RECORDS, SUSPENDED SENTENCES, DISMISSALS, PROBATION, INCARCERATION RECORDS AND THOSE INVOLVED IN PRE-TRIAL INTERVENTION.
  • NOTE: SOME STATES IMPOSE A SURCHARGE - PAID BY REQUESTOR (YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED PRIOR TO CONDUCTIONS SEARCH). OFAC DATABASE: THE OFFICE OF FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL, (LISTS CRIMINALS AND TERRORISTS AROUND THE WORLD).
County Level court records typically are housed within the courthouse at the county level.  To simplify the system, each county jurisdiction typically is broken into three levels.  The first and highest level is the district court, sometimes referred to as superior court.  At this level, you generally will find most felony cases.

The second level  is the county court.  At this level, you will find most serious misdemeanor cases.

The lowest level is the municipal court, sometimes referred to as city court.  At this level, you typically will find most minor misdemeanors and petty offenses, usually cases where the individual simply was issued a summons to appear in court.

When conducting a County level Court Record Search, MED badge HELP always will search the first and second level courts, where available.  Municipal courts can be searched, but are considered a special request and will involve an additional charge.

Pricing is per name, per jurisdiction searched and may vary in some jurisdictions. Less than 1 percent of the counties charge court-imposed fees on all records ordered.  These fees are billed over and above the record retrieval costs.  Contact us for a detailed listing of counties with extra costs.

SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER TRACE
The applicant's social security number is traced through a vast resource of more than 400 data sources including the national credit bureaus.  This extremely useful tool is imperative in uncovering any additional names, aliases or addresses that the applicant may have utilized, but chose not to reveal during the application process.  Furthermore, when combined with a criminal history, the social security trace is invaluable in making sure all known names and jurisdictions are encompassed while conducting the search.

Secondly, the trace will validate the year and state in which the Social Security Administration issued the number.  This information can be useful in uncovering potentially fraudulent social security numbers.

MULTI-STATE CRIMINAL DATABASE
The Multi-state Criminal Database is a "third party" database which comprises records obtained from the state Department of Corrections and the Administrative Office of the Courts, where available. Coverage areas and update schedules vary by jurisdiction. Coverage details are available at http://www.trudiligence.com/docs/nationalcriminalcoverage.pdf.

Multi-state database systems are dependent upon getting their data from the individual state and county jurisdictions. If an individual state or county does not update its data to the multi-state system on a regular basis, or at all for that matter, the system may have holes in its coverage area. Therefore, multi-state database records should be used only as a tool to uncover areas requiring additional research.

MED badge HELP does not recommend the use of multi-state database records as a standalone search nor a means of promoting due diligence in screening practices or maintaining compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. County-level courthouse records are recommended for this purpose.

*IMPORTANT NOTE: Should you choose to use the Multi-state Criminal Database as a broad search tool and a record is found, the search results automatically will be validated with a direct search of the source county courthouse records. This validation is required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act Sections 607 and 613 to ensure accuracy of the result provided by the "third party" database. Any additional cost associated with this process will be billed at published rates which currently are $8.00 and up for county-level court record verification.

A "no record" result will turn around instantly however, when this verification on "yes record hits" is required the results of the completed search will be delayed by 24 - 72 hours while the verification search completes.
​
Important Note: The validity of statewide systems also can be dependent upon their ability to get data from individual county jurisdictions. If a county does not update its data to the statewide system on a regular basis, or at all for that matter, the statewide system may have holes in its coverage area. Therefore, statewide records should be used only as a cursory review of an applicant's record. MED badge HELP does not recommend the use of statewide records as a means of promoting due diligence in hiring practices or maintaining compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. County-level courthouse records are recommended for this purpose.
