现在是官方的。经过辩论和讨论，印第安纳州瓦尔帕莱索市决定扩大他们目前对城市公园员工进行的背景调查，使其更加详细，并为公众提供更多安全保障。尽管该市已经对一些城市公园员工进行了更严格的背景调查，比如那些担任管理职位的员工，但他们并没有对所有这些员工都进行过调查。现在这将改变。

一些将改变的事情将包括对员工进行全面的国家背景调查，而不是国家背景调查。其他变化包括增加验证社会安全号码、验证地址、检查性犯罪者登记处，除了国家犯罪记录检查外，他们还将检查县记录。

这将是一项艰巨的任务，但随着计划的发展，该计划将检查所有员工。他们将特别从那些直接与儿童打交道的人开始，然后转向那些从事部门管理工作的人。然后，他们将对所有全职员工进行检查，然后是兼职和季节性员工。最后，特许权员工将轮到他们进行背景调查。每个员工最终都必须通过背景调查。预计该部门将花费 5000 美元到 7000 美元不等，但未来可能会推动申请人和员工支付 15 美元的费用。

尽管瓦尔帕莱索市在这些新的背景调查方面做得很好，但没有迹象表明他们会对每个人多次进行这些调查。每隔几年对所有员工进行一次这些检查可以确保部门尽可能安全。

It is now official. After debate and discussion, the city of Valparaiso, IN has decided that they need to expand the background checks they are currently doing on city park employees to make them more detailed and offer more safety to the public. Though the city has already been doing these more intense background checks on some of their city park employees, like those who have management positions, they have not been doing them on all of them. This will now change.

Some of the things that will change will include a full national background check on employees instead of a state background check. Other changes include the addition of verifying social security numbers, verifying addresses, checking the sex offender registry and in addition to the national criminal record check, they will also check county records.

This will be a big undertaking, but as the program grows, the plan is for all employees to be checked. They will start specifically with those who work directly with children and will move on to those who have jobs in departmental management. They will then do checks on all full-time employees, followed by part-time and seasonal employees. Finally, the concession employees will get their turn at going through a background check. Every employee will eventually have to go through the background check. It is expected to cost the department anywhere from $5000 to $7000, but there may be a push to have applicants and employees pay the $15 fee in the future.

Companies such as backgroundchecks.com are making the process of large-scale background checks easier for companies to handle. When a company or organization chooses to perform many background checks at once, these third-party companies are the best choice. With many options and products that can be helpful, the ease and convenience of these companies will be evident from the first background investigation. One of these products is Ongoing Criminal Monitoring which is excellent for companies who want to keep an eye on the criminal backgrounds of their employees while they are employed. When a company chooses this product from backgroundchecks.com, they will receive notification if new records show up in the database for of their employees is arrested or convicted of a crime.

Though the city of Valparaiso is doing a great thing with these new background checks, there is no indication that they will perform these investigations more than once on each individual. Performing these checks every few years on all employees can make sure the department is as safe as possible.
