A member is wondering if other cities or counties conduct background checks on all employees, not just those in fiduciary or sensitive positions. Can you respond just to me if this is something your city does and if so, if you've come across any issues with it?  Please respond to akarras@imla.orgmailto:akarras@imla.org.

Thanks,

Amanda

In Charlotte County, Florida we do a Level 1 background check on all employees. This is a limited criminal check based on State Dept. of Law Enforcement records, not FBI. We review drivers' license, education and employment history. For sensitive positions, we do the Level II check including FBI check.
