I want to clarify that I was only speaking as an HR person that these background checks are easy and inexpensive. As to whether the GSDCA should do them or not, I do not know why they would now be thinking abou this. Unless they are out to get someone.....? Have there been issues with this in the past or a reason to be suggesting this now?

I agree with this 100%. I also work in HR and we do background checks on every person we employ and also credit checks for certain positions. We hire a service to do our background checks and they are fairly inexpensive and can be done on a county, state or national level.

I am in Human Resources. Most companies and organizations require all potential employees to pass a strict criminal and sometimes civil background check. For employees with access to or control over funds, we also run a credit check. Even thought not employees, for as large an organization as the GSDCA is and for as large as our budget is, I would think we would want to do the same of our potential officers. If you think it is something that we should do, I can explain in more detail how it would work. It is inexpensive and can be done confidentially, meaning that we could set pass/fail criteria and the results would be pass or fail, without giving details of any conviction. What do you think?
