Volunteer Screening

BASIC Package Search

This is a package including the following:

  • Address History
  • National Criminal Database Search
  • Nationwide Sex Offender Search
  • Re-verification of criminal records
  • Alias Names

The Address History search is vital to verifying the identity of an individual, alias names and any previous addresses. All alias names found are searched on the national database and sex offender registries, in addition to the applicant name provided.

The National Criminal Database search has the potential to identify certain crimes that may have occurred outside any addresses found on the Address History search. The national search is not recommended as a stand-alone service in every state due to the limitations of the data being queried.

The Nationwide Sex Offender Search will identify if an applicant is listed on a particular sex offender registry. The sex offender search is critical to identifying any prior sex offenses.

All hits found on the national database and sex offender registries are re-verified for accuracy in compliance with the FCRA.

PLUS Package Search

This is a package including the following:

  • Address History
  • National Criminal Database Search
  • Nationwide Sex Offender Search
  • Re-verification of criminal records
  • Alias names
  • (1) county or statewide criminal court search (plus mandatory fees)

The PLUS includes everything in the BASIC Package search, plus:

The criminal court search is a name check for any criminal history (felony and misdemeanors where available), at the county or state level. Due to the fact that a majority of crimes occur within the jurisdiction of an individual’s home address, the county criminal search or statewide criminal search should be ordered based on the most current address history of the applicant, or the address with the longest residence within the past 7 years.

All services ordered should be related to the actual job descriptions and functions of the particular applicant’s job.

Ministry Mobilizer gives us faster access to background information and has allowed us to speed up the hiring process. We enjoy quick response, accurate information, and like the price structure.
Marlene Haddock, First Baptist Church
With over 20 years of law enforcement experience I can attest to the fact that the strongest predictor of future criminal behavior is a person’s criminal history. As the manager of campus safety at Idlewild Baptist Church I depend on Protect My Ministry to provide a thorough assessment of every criminal history background check we request. For more than 3 years Protect My Ministry has been faithful to this task with timely, accurate and reliable service.
Rich Walker, Idlewild Baptist Church
We have benefited from knowing that we are not exposing the communities we work with or ourselves to unnecessary risk. We continue to have a perfect record in that we have never had a serious incident with a trip participant causing harm or acting inappropriately with any community member or fellow team member - thank goodness!
Hope Livingston, Living Water International
Online is saving us a large amount of time now. The results are more in depth than before, customer service is excellent.
