REAL CASE SCENARIO: AWIG SAVES Miramar Technical Company from making a bad hire!
AWIG's Team Diligence does it again! As part of the routine due-diligence process, AWIG was asked by its client to perform a background investigation on a MICHAEL O. SULLIVAN (real statistics changed to protect the parties involved). A thorough, comprehensive name and alias verification process revealed that MICHAEL SULLIVAN was also utilizing the name MICHAEL O'SULLIVAN. The case managers carefully reviewed all documentation provided and learned that all indicators were that the only name utilized was MICHAEL O. SULLIVAN.
It should be noted that his middle name was Oscar. A careful due-diligence based investigation proved the information to be inaccurate; finding that when comparing the application for employment and other documents to the comprehensive name/alias verification, AWIG team members discovered the discrepancy. Both names were searched for criminal convictions and a serious CONVICTION (GRAND LARCENY-2ND DEGREE!) was found for MICHAEL O'SULLIVAN. Needless to say, the candidate failed to disclose the alias and conviction! Have you examined your screening process lately to ensure that you are implementing a DUE-DILIGENCE based approach?

Background Investigation Tips,
From an Expert
When conducting a background investigation, it is extremely important to pay close attention to the exact spelling of the applicant's name as well the applicant's alias names. A statewide criminal conviction search is performed utilizing the applicant's exact name and date of birth. If the applicant's name is Matthew and he often goes by the name of Matt, then the searches performed under the applicant's original name will never show charges under the alias name. Once you discover there is an alias name, the statewide criminal conviction search should be conducted under ALL names located with in the past sever years. To ensure that your company performs the most comprehensive, due diligent based background investigations, both Matthew and Matt should be searched in the above example.
During a routine background investigation, we ran a social security and address history and located an alternative spelling of the applicant's first name. The applicant's first name was Jeffery however on multiple occasions the applicant had spelled his name as Jeffrey. The client followed the concept of due diligence based background investigations and decided to conduct a criminal background investigation on both names. Once we conducted the New York Statewide search, we found that the alias name of Jeffrey resulted in three misdemeanor charges of petit larceny and assault. If the client had not approved the additional research on the alias name, the background investigation would have been incomplete. The consumer reporting agency would have reported the applicant clear for employment but that would have been only half of the story. If you are interested in learning more about alias names or duel diligent background investigations,
please contact our office.

Marion County, IN Redacts Month and Day of Birth from
Court Records/ ACT NOW!
In response to a guideline for IN Court Administrative Rule Nine, the Marion County Courts and Clerk's Office have approved the redaction of month and day of birth from court records made available to subscribers to their Criminal Court Records Search Service as well as non-subscriber, credit card users leaving only year of birth. This redaction seriously limits our ability to accurately attribute Marion County Criminal Records to the subjects of searches. Further, Administrative Rule Nine, to which this change is being attributed, defines as confidential the personal information of victims and witnesses, but not defendants, thus the removal of defendants' month and day of birth seems misguided:
Rule 9. Access to Court Records
(G) Court Records Excluded From Public Access.
(1) Case records. The following information in case records is excluded from public access and is confidential:
(e) With the exception of names, information such as addresses, phone numbers, and dates of birth which explicitly identifies:
(i) natural persons who are witnesses or victims (not including defendants) in criminal, domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault, juvenile, or civil protection order proceedings, provided that juveniles who are victims of sex crimes shall be identified by initials only;
(ii) places of residence of judicial officers, clerks and other employees of courts and clerks of court; unless the person or persons about whom the information pertains waives confidentiality;
(Administrative Rules, in their entirety )
If your business is located in Indiana, provides searches to Indiana employers or landlords or provides Indiana searches to clients in other states, this change will impact you. Please take action now to urge a change in this policy and restoration of full DOB (MM/DD/YYYY) to Marion County Criminal Court Records.
