Knowledge of a potential employee has outstanding warrants or a serious criminal record allows for the employer to determine how appropriate the applicant is for the job and work environment. Employers have moral and legal obligations to provide a safe working environment. Determining if an individual has outstanding warrants provides an optimum situation against negligent hiring claims.

There are thousands significant courts in the United States that maintain criminal records. Knowing if an individual has an outstanding warrant is an important element of a Comprehensive Background Check, but should never be considered as a complete criminal background check. An outstanding warrant is not a conviction, or criminal history, a “hit” on a National Wants and Warrants Search does not necessarily mean an applicant is a convicted criminal. Likewise, a “clear” result does not ensure than an applicant does not have a criminal record. Similar to criminal record databases, this database is not always current, accurate, or complete.
