BACKGROUND SCREENING POLICY
Volunteer Background Screening Policy City of Fort Worth
PURPOSE:
To establish a background screening procedure that not only raises public awareness of quality programs
offered but also ensures the safety of all participants, particularly the most vulnerable groups such as
children, elderly and intellectually challenged.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES:
1. The City provides opportunities for community members to share their gifts and talents
through volunteer experiences.
2. The City recognizes the importance volunteerism plays in the bigger picture of community
wellness.
3. The City places the highest priority on the safety of its customers, staff and volunteers
who choose to serve with us.
OBJECTIVES:
1. To conduct a criminal background screening program based on the National Recreation and
Park Association's Recommended Guidelines for Credentialing Volunteers.
2. To conduct criminal background screenings in a timely manner on volunteers assigned to
work with vulnerable populations.
3. To maintain confidentiality to the extent allowed by law of volunteers who willingly submit to
screening.
DEFINITIONS:
1. Volunteers shall be defined as anyone who,without compensation,performs a task at the
direction of and on behalf of the city. A volunteer or representative for an approved volunteer
group must be officially accepted and enrolled by the department prior to performance of the
task.
2. Social Security Verification is a screening used to verify the name of every volunteer
against the Social Security Number provided.This helps to eliminate the possibility of false
names and/or information.
a. Social Security verifications are a critical first step in the process as they help to
ensure that the name and other personal data given by the applicant are accurate.
b. Volunteers who do not have a Social Security Number,or choose not to provide
one, should provide two forms of ID with matching identifiers.
i. Driver's license or state-issued ID, birth certificate,passport,etc.
3. Address Trace is a screening used to verify the current address and identify any previous
addresses of every volunteer. This information is utilized to determine the jurisdiction in which
the background screening is conducted.
4. State or County Criminal Records Check is a statewide or countywide(depending on the
jurisdiction) criminal record check performed to capture all misdemeanor and felony
convictions in that jurisdiction.The search shouldbe conducted in the jurisdiction with the
longest and most current residency.
5. National Criminal History Database Search is used to supplement the local criminal history
search. There is no one national record check whether through the government or private sector
that identifies every crime ever committed. However,there are now criminal history databases
Supplemental Programming Agreement M of 17
FINAL—Effective Oct. 1,2018
available that contain millions of criminal records and cover much of the United States. This is
beneficial in expanding the search across the country but should not be used as a standalone
source background screening.
6. Sex Offender Registry conducts a search of the appropriate state sexoffender registries
based on the address history.
7. Timely Results should be returned within ten(10)business days to allow for proper
planning and assignment of volunteers.
8. Volunteer Coordinator shall be defined as the person who oversees the coordination
of volunteer programs for a department or City overall.
9. Vulnerable Populations shall be defined as youth, elderly or intellectually
challenged.
PROCEDURES:
I. PROGRAM INFORMATION
A. A third-party public information vendor will conduct background checks following the
National Recreation and Park Association's Recommended Guidelines for Credentialing
Volunteers. That process includes generating the following in a timely manner:
1. Social Security Verification
