Origin


Origin A multidimensional inquiry that

combines our Multijurisdictional Criminal inquiry with known aliases provided from our SSN & Address Information inquiry.

We report the state and the approximate date that the SSN was issued and run the SSN through the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File.

Next, we run the SSN trace to obtain a list of alias names, including maiden names.

Then use this information to make a final pass through our Multijurisdictional Criminal inquiry instant database on the primary name supplied and all aliases revealed in the SSN & Address Information.



Motor Vehicle


Motor Vehicle

Reveals a suspended/revoked license, patterns of reckless behavior, insurance risks and/or substance abuse

If your employee is irresponsible or negligent, with a motor vehicle, or otherwise, your organization may be held responsible for any accidents or incidents that occur as a result

Motor vehicle information can be very beneficial to obtain on all applicants

Cursory IndicatorNew York



In July 2011, Commercial Investigations launched Cursory Indicator New York, after being in development since 1999.

Commercial Investigations worked with New York State law enforcement to bring this to the non-law enforcement world.

Commercial Investigations is the exclusive provider of Cursory Indicator New York to its clients and other background screening organizations.

County, Statewide & Federal


County Criminal

Highly recommended as a minimum criminal record search to ensure the discovery of any misdemeanor or felony charges

CI conducts County Criminal inquiries by submitting a query to a professional court researcher who physically retrieves the records

Uncovers “minor” convictions such as theft, drug possession or shoplifting that are very relevant to employers seeking the best applicants

Examples of charges that can be revealed through a County Criminal Inquiry:

Assault, Robbery Murder


Statewide Criminal

Consists of information from the New York State Office of Court Administration (OCA)

Results include data from all 62 NY counties pertaining to misdemeanor and felony convictions and open/pending cases

Some town and village criminal disposition data is also included. Since 2008 all NY town and village Courts have been reporting disposition data to OCA

All NY City and County courts are required to report criminal disposition data to the NYS Office of Court Administration

Cases are updated within New York City approximately every 24 hours and outside NY City at least once a week


Federal Criminal

An important step for eliminating an employer's liability for negligent hiring

Federal searches often reveal serious violations of federal law that state or county searches do not encompass

Examples of federal crimes:

Drug trafficking

Embezzlement

Carjacking

Kidnapping

Crimes committed across state lines


Health Care Comply Plus



Provides information on individual health care providers

Conducts a search of the sanction information compiled by Office of the Inspector General (OIG), General Services Administration (GSA) and other federal agencies

Meets requirements for sanction screening set forth in the OIG's Compliance Program Guidance

More thorough than only checking the OIG and GSA databases established by these governing agencies because it includes historic, as well as current sanction data

Office of the Inspector General sanctions

General Services Administration sanctions

State licensing agency actions Global Scan anti-terrorist data

Sex Offender Registry


Sex Offender Registry

Although some sex offender registry data is part of the Multijurisdictional Criminal part of Origin, howevera state specific sex offender registry inquiry is important to cover all levels of sex offender data publically available.

CI’s Sex Offender Registry inquiry helps mitigate a company’s risk of workplace violence and potential negligent hiring or retention lawsuits.

CI recommends that its clients conduct a Sex Offender Registry inquiry in every state the subject has lived in, and by every name the subject has used, within the previous ten years.
