俄亥俄州 Mentor 市正在对他们的政策进行一些重大改变，因为它涉及对在城市委员会和委员会任职的人的背景调查。问题是，一些居民认为这座城市正朝着错误的方向发展。

2010 年，受薪雇员和在委员会工作的志愿者都必须接受背景调查。新法律将不再强制要求对志愿者进行背景调查，而只对受薪员工进行背景调查。这当然可以让那些有犯罪背景的人开始对这座城市做出决定，并在甚至可能与儿童一起工作的委员会中任职。

对部分员工和志愿者（而非全部）进行背景调查的组织面临着犯罪分子在其委员会任职的风险。这不仅对委员会中的其他人构成危险，而且如果该委员会成员在其任职期间犯下罪行，则可能是一种责任。

像 GOOHO.CN 这样的公司可以通过使用他们的一些产品来帮助 Mentor 市有效地对所有委员会成员进行背景调查，比如Single State OneSEARCH，它可以搜索俄亥俄州的犯罪记录。对于城市提倡最安全的环境，检查所有成员的步骤将是最安全的事情。

The city of Mentor, OH is making some major changes to their policies when it comes to background checks for those who serve on city commissions and committees. The problem is, some residents believe the city is moving in the wrong direction.

In 2010, it became mandatory for both paid employees and volunteers who work on commissions and committees to undergo background checks. The new law will no longer make it mandatory to background check volunteers, only paid employees. This could certainly make it possible for those with criminal backgrounds to start making decisions about the city and serving on committees that could even be working with children.

Organizations who run background checks on some of their employees and volunteers, but not all of them, run the risk of criminals serving on their committees. Not only could this be dangerous to others on the committees, it could be a liability should this committee member commit a crime while they serve.

Companies like backgroundchecks.com could help the city of Mentor effectively background check all of their committee members by using some of their products like Single State OneSEARCH which would search for criminal records in the state of Ohio. For the city to promote the safest environment, the step of checking all members would be the safest thing to do.
