CrimShield uses a proprietary background check process that includes an exhaustive seven-point profile matrix. We pinpoint past and present residency to establish an applicant’s civil and criminal history, if any. And, unlike many instant background checks found on the Internet that use only public information clearinghouses, CrimShield uses first source information whenever possible. In some cases, CrimShield will even send an agent to review court records on-site. A CrimShield background check is a thorough and accurate, unlike many online database searches that are often incomplete, inaccurate and outdated.
