EFFECTIVE DATE: 10/01/ 015 D12
Approved by Director page 1 of 5
PURPOSE:
To establish a background screening procedure that not only raises a 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 Department provides opportunities for community members to share their
gifts and talents.
2. The Department recognizes the importance volunteerism plays in the bigger
picture of community and citizenship.
3. The Department places the highest priority on the safety of its customers and
staff.
OBJECTIVES:
1. To conduct criminal background screenings in a timely manner on volunteers
assigned to work with vulnerable populations.
2. To maintain confidentiality to the extent allowed by law of volunteers who willingly
submit to screening.

PROCEDURES:
I. PROGRAM INFORMATION
A. A public information vendor will conduct the background checks following the
National Recreation and Park Association's recommended guidelines. That
process includes:
1. Social Security Verification—Verify the name of every volunteer against
the Social Security Number provided. This helps to eliminate the
possibility of false names and/or information.
2. Address Trace—Verify the current address and identify any previous
address of every volunteer. This information is utilized to determine the
jurisdiction in which the background screening is conducted.
3. State or County Criminal Records Check—A Statewide or Countywide
(depending on the jurisdiction)criminal record check is performed to
capture all misdemeanor and felony convictions in that jurisdiction. The
search should be conducted in the jurisdiction with the longest and most
current residency.
4. National Criminal History Data Base 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 data bases available that contain millions of criminal records and
cover much of the United States. These data bases can be accessed and
used to supplement the local criminal history search. This is beneficial in
expanding the search across the country but should not be used as a
stand-alone source background screening.
5. Sex Offender Registry—Search of the appropriate state sex offender
registries based on the address history.
6. Timely Results—A background screening process should be timely and
results should be returned within 3 business days to allow for proper
planning and assignment of volunteers.

B. Background check records will be accessible to the Volunteer Coordinator and

acceptance or denial. Details of the background check will be kept confidential.
C. Volunteers who elect not to authorize screening shall not be eligible to work in
volunteer positions that work directly with vulnerable populations.
D. Background screening exceptions include one-time public events where
volunteers would not be working with vulnerable populations or one-time public
events where volunteers could be working with vulnerable populations in a
