The Importance of Background Checks
There are many reasons that a person would like to obtain a criminal background check on someone else. The most common reason is employers checking up on a job applicant's employment and criminal history; making sure he is all that he claims to be and nothing more. But ordinary people have many reasons to check up on a person's history, and there are many background check firms that exist to do this job.
A potentially bad situation was averted when the manager of an armored car service in Boise, Idaho employed the use of background checks to verify an applicant's information. The applicant had claimed to have no criminal history whatsoever, but a background check revealed that he had just been released from a 10-year stint in federal prison for grand larceny and embezzlement. Hiring this person could have been a huge mistake for an armored car service, where the cargo is most often huge sums of cash. This is the most often situation: employers finding out about an applicant's criminal history. Nearly every employer these days conducts background checks on every applicant.
In one particularly sobering incident, a couple from Pensacola, Florida was spared the possibility of considerable tragedy by the use of a background check. They had planned a day trip and had to arrange a babysitter, so they responded to an ad in the newspaper for a babysitter's services. Deciding to be on the safe side, they ran a background check on the babysitter (a middle-aged woman; exactly the type who many would expect to be great with children). What the background check revealed was quite disturbing. The woman masquerading as an experienced babysitter was actually a sex offender who was wanted in three neighboring states for failing to register. The couple quickly phoned the police and the sex offender was arrested. The day trip had to be postponed in the midst of the calamity, but a simple cheap background check had saved the day.
One more niche where background checks are of great use is one that most people never think of: the world of online dating. It may sound strange (and a little creepy, even) but it makes sense for some situations. If you are planning to meet someone in person after talking to them online, you still don't actually know who they are. It's easy to see why a background check might be a good idea. It is not unheard of for married people to present themselves as single in order to start up an affair online. This could land a person in some hot water with the swindled spouse if they were to find out. Most background checks will reveal if a person is currently married.
You don't have to be a business owner to use background checks. The qualified firms can offer their services to anyone. Some would say that it is invasive to prod into someone's past life, but don't you have the right to know if someone you know has a long criminal history? It certainly pays to be on the safe side, and a cheap background check is all it takes.
