General Information Services, Inc. (GIS), a leader in providing comprehensive background screening solutions, proudly announces our new products to help create a safe environment for our children. GIS is also launching an entire website: (www.backgroundchecksforschools.com) to provide industry specific products and services and the latest breaking education news. The focus in the national news shows that there is a great need for consistent, thorough searches and background screenings conducted on those in contact with our youth. GIS’ owner and CEO, Raymond Conrad explains;
“We recognized the need in the Education industry for comprehensive background screening products specifically designed with the industry restrictions and regulations in mind.”
We have products targeted to meet the growing education industry needs, including screenings for staff members, parents, volunteers and even students. GIS has the largest instant criminal database (KwikScreen) including sex offender and national watch lists with photos of offenders from 49 states. This combined with our comprehensive sex offender database, which combines 52 sources plus photos creates a powerful instant, cost effective solution. Our annual re-screen provides another instant product to make sure organizations remain compliant. If you only run a background check on the initial hire date, you can miss a crime that an employee, parent or volunteer commits during the following year. Many schools currently run statewide checks to help promote the safety of their pupils and employees; a national check through the largest criminal screening database in the nation can provide more certainty that even transient offenders who have committed crimes in other states are identified and eliminated from the job or volunteer pool.
We also have several solutions to make sure those non-employees (parents, volunteers, contractors) on your campus have also been screened. Through our customized products you can send those individuals to a custom website to run and pay for their background online.
