Background Check Program |
|
| |
The purpose of the Department of Recreation and Parks’ Background Check Program is to ensure that
every individual who interacts with children undergoes a criminal history records check. The objective of
the Background Check Program is to provide parents with peace of mind knowing their children are
provided a safe and positive experience.
A criminal history records check serves as a means to review an individual’s background in respect to their
participation with youth activities. While no screening process can grant absolute assurances, knowing an
individual’s criminal background can provide greater certainty that an individual with a history of
inappropriate behavior will not have access to our youth. A Parent’s watchful eye is still our greatest
resource to keep our children safe. To read additional information about the Department's Background Check program, please click on the "About Background Check Program" link below. |
