The Safety 1st Volunteer Screening Program is available only through a select group of professional background screening company affiliates. These selected affiliates have a deep understanding of volunteer and non-profit organizations and are already providing background screening services of volunteers.

A Safety 1st Volunteer Screening provides a compiled, comprehensive report that includes, in addition to the criminal data from our Nationwide Criminal Database, information on the volunteer or staff member’s previous residence addresses, whether a Social Security Number (SSN) has been issued, maiden and/or married names associated with the SSN and whether the volunteer or staff member’s SSN is currently being used by other individuals.

Our Nationwide Criminal Database is one of the largest private-sector criminal history databases in the nation. It draws from multiple sources including criminal courts, state criminal record repositories, probation, prison parole and release files, sex offender registries and other government agencies, as well as additional proprietary criminal history data.

The purpose of the Safety 1st Volunteer Screening Program is to aid volunteer and non-profit organizations and agencies in determining whether prospective volunteers and staff have a pattern of criminal behavior that would make it unwise for them to be working with children or other vulnerable populations.
