Operation Bob

It’s always best to play it safe and know someone’s background before trusting them with your family or business, especially when it’s someone you don’t know that well. It might sound a little un-trusting, but the last thing we want is to hire an employee, contractor, child care provider, renter or anyone else we entrust our business, family, or property to only to find out that a criminal check would have revealed a frightening history.

Over the years I’ve had to do a background check for various reasons on various people. I’ve obtained these checks using different methods including web resources and even going to the courthouse in person. Many of the services on the web are either useless or outrageously expensive and wading through the paper or courthouse database can be daunting – and still not give me everything I need. I’m interested in a service that can provide the information I need without breaking the bank or taking up a day’s time, and I think I have found it!

SentryLink offers a national criminal background check at a reasonable price that includes felonies, misdemeanors, and sex offender information at the state and county level. Having all that information in one resource sure does cut down on the legwork and frustration. The site is well laid out and easy to navigate. The services they offer are clear and well organized, and again the prices are very reasonable by comparison.
