Screening your Volunteers The McDowell Agency, Inc. has set the standard for volunteer
background checks throughout Minnesota. The
McDowell Agency, Inc.’s screening program was developed to assist schools,
youth sports organizations, churches, and volunteer driven organizations to
screen out predators and criminals from having direct contact with children and
other vulnerable populations. The MAVA
recommended program pairs a comprehensive personal consultation to determine
the best program for your needs and budget
and a comprehensive Criminal Background Check Search to provide your
organization with quick, accurate, and complete results (an average of less
than 2 business days in 2007).
This MAVA recommended program includes the following
searches:
Social Security Address Trace Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Search County Criminal Record Search National Sex Offender Registry Search USA Criminal Index Search The McDowell Agency, Inc. has over 25 years of experience in
conducting criminal background checks.
We are a licensed private investigation firm that specializes in
criminal background checks in the non-profit sector. Our knowledge and experience was instrumental
in developing a much needed and affordable program for MAVA member organizations. The McDowell Agency, Inc. has been recognized
as pioneers and experts in the Volunteer Screening Industry. This past year alone, The McDowell Agency, Inc.
has performed a number of presentations and educational seminars for numerous
educational and volunteer conferences.
In addition to our partnership with MAVA, The McDowell Agency, Inc. is
proud to be endorsed by and partners with the following organizations as the
premier provider of background check services for their members:
Minnesota Association of School Administrators Minnesota Association of Charter Schools Child abuse, domestic assault, and other forms of abuse
occur every day and, unfortunately, volunteer organizations are not
immune. This is a complex issue which
requires every organization that works with vulnerable populations to become
proactive. An alarming number of
volunteers have a history of involvement in incidents of violence and/or sexual
misconduct which can lead to crimes perpetrated against innocent victims.
The McDowell Agency strongly believes that it is not merely
information we handle, but peoples’ lives and futures. We are committed to accuracy. We require a
trained expert to interpret all results; reports are never forwarded to a
client until a licensed account representative has reviewed it. Your account representative will be a
licensed private investigator with training in how to interpret the results.
