Background checks are not created equal

NCSI sets the bar with a comprehensive national background check that goes beyond the limitations of the commonly used “database-only” searches to help keep kids safe from harm. Through in-depth courthouse research and applicant identity verification, NCSI works tirelessly to ensure that all applicants are thoroughly screened before they work with youth and communities. NCSI is proudly accredited by the National Association of Professional Background Screeners.
