Private Eyes conducts thorough investigations by utilizing our well-trained court runners and research specialists to search state, county, and federal level courts for any crimes or civil cases relating to an applicant. Any information found will always be re-verified to ensure clients get the most up-to-date conviction information.
Civil record searches are performed at the county level and disclose civil judgment and business disputes. County-level court systems vary from state to state and county to county, so fees vary, however we work with clients to help anticipate the level of search required to obtain their desired information. When state repositories are not current or comprehensive, we default to county level searches and always advise clients not to rely solely on database results to make a final decision on applicants.
Our in-house criminal research specialists are certified FCRA experts through PBSA.
State and County Criminal / Civil Search
Criminal, state and county records can be searched to discover the details of any felony and misdemeanor convictions, including whether a conviction exists, the date of conviction, charges, and disposition.
Multi-Jurisdiction Search
Private Eyes provides access to the largest criminal database available with over 800,000,000 records covering 50 States. This search is used as a supplement in our criminal search process that enables us to cast a broader net in finding criminal activity on a potential employee. If records are found, it is researched to re-verify identification and accuracy of information.
National Federal Criminal / Civil Records Search
Each state contains between one to five districts designed as either northern, eastern, central, southern or western. Information available includes any and all crimes covered under federal statute (i.e., kidnapping, mail fraud, bank robbery, etc). Federal Civil Searches include civil cases that raise a “federal question” involving the United States Government, the U.S. Constitution, or other federal laws.
