A good security program can reduce a company's exposure to loss, help make risk more manageable, and increase the safety of employees and visitors. However, a good security program needs an effective security manager. A security manager can help make a business run more efficiently because security issues are addressed before they become problems, employees and vendors know someone is watching, and problems like workplace violence and internal theft can be minimized. While this is a common business practice for larger companies, it is not cost effective for smaller businesses, whose bottom line is usually fairly thin. Every company could benefit by employing a security manager - some just cannot afford to do so.

One of RMA's core services is investigations, and we do a lot of pre-employment background investigations. We are often asked if we can include a "nationwide criminal search", and we explain that there is no such thing as a public, comprehensive, nationwide criminal record check that searches all courts and jurisdictions. They say, "But I can get one for $19.95 from a website. Doesn't that search everywhere?" RMA decided to take a closer look at an advertised "nationwide criminal search" to see what information is actually included.
