Want Some Tips?
- Have a written policy.
- Apply your policy consistently.
- Insist on a written report from your vendor. Verbal, “under the table” responses lack integrity and could create legal problems for you and should be simply unacceptable.
- Never view / factor / keep in your files raw data from the courts.
- Never view / factor / keep in your files arrest records.
- Raw data from the courts and arrest records may be deemed to be discriminatory and could cause more problems than they solve. They may not get your records provider in trouble, but they could create very serious problems for you, the end user.
