BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION The BOARD is prohibited from knowingly employing a person who has been convicted of committing or attempting to commit certain criminal offenses.

Criminal Background Investigations For investigative Vendor Staff, Citizens will accept a copy of a current Class C Private Investigator license as proof that a criminal background check has been conducted for that investigator. For all other Vendor Staff, Vendor must provide Citizens with a copy of a criminal background check performed on such Vendor Staff dated within thirty (30) days of submission of the Vendor Staff to Citizens for qualification and credentialing review. Vendor shall use Exhibit D, Applicant Background Review Guide to as a guideline to determine eligibility of Vendor Staff to perform Services. The criminal background check must be updated every two (2) years thereafter. All background checks will be at Vendor’s expense and, unless otherwise approved in writing by Citizens’ Contract Manager, shall include but not be limited to: (a) state and federal felony convictions or pending adjudications; (b) state and federal misdemeanor convictions or pending adjudications; (c) any crimes in violation of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1995 or pending adjudications; and, (d) a seven (7) year minimum timeframe, extending as close as practicable to the date of Assignment to perform Services. Vendor will advise Citizens’ Contract Manager or designee if it knows of any Vendor Staff that has a criminal conviction (misdemeanor or felony), regardless of adjudication (adjudication withheld, a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, or a guilty verdict), within the last ten (10) years in any jurisdiction. Vendor shall not allow that individual to act as a Vendor Staff until Vendor determines whether that individual should be allowed to do so considering (a) the nature and gravity of the offense; (b) the amount of time that lapsed since the offense;
