It has been a year since ESS’s exclusive Auxiliary National Criminal Index (ANCI) search was introduced at no charge with our standard criminal search, and the results have been impressive. And the “net” that ANCI casts will only get bigger and better as the database grows.  Just in the short time ESS has offered ANCI, the database has added over 40 million new records.

Here are just a few examples of the valuable enhancement that ANCI adds to the scope of your criminal search.

• Criminal searches were conducted on an applicant in several New York counties.  According to his address history, he had not lived or worked elsewhere.  The ANCI search uncovered a possible record in Monmouth county New Jersey.  After conducting a standard criminal search in this county, ESS found the individual had a recent felony conviction for possession of a controlled substance.
   

• A child abuse conviction in Colorado was uncovered due to an ANCI match.  The applicant was being considered for a position in New Mexico.  The position involved transporting youth.
   

• An applicant disclosed a robbery conviction in San Diego on his employment application, but said it occurred 22 years ago.  That may have been true, but he failed to disclose that, according to the Michigan Department of Corrections, he served eight years for homicide ending in 1996.  According to all information available, there was no reason to conduct a criminal search in Michigan, but that’s where ANCI found a match that ultimately turned up this information.

Even clients with the most thorough and comprehensive of criminal history search criteria have found criminal records on their applicants due to ANCI that would not have otherwise been discovered.  We vow to continue to make our service the very best employment screening value in the industry.

*The ESS ANCI includes over 120 MILLION records of felonies, misdemeanors, traffic offenses, and sexual offender records on ex-convicts, parolees, probationers, and inmates from contributing sources in over 44 states. Besides the matching criteria (name and date of birth), the ANCI database provides the originating jurisdiction of the record.  If ESS is not already searching that jurisdiction as part of the standard criminal history search, you will be contacted and asked if you would like ESS to perform an additional criminal search in that jurisdiction.  You will have the opportunity to set a standard ANCI policy so ESS does not continue to contact you on each possible ANCI record. (Additional criminal searches are offered at a discount price).
 

In the past, most companies did not consider random screening due to the cost of setting up a qualified random system to keep track of their employees, when and who to screen, and the results from the screenings. ESS now has an in-house system that is approved for random screening and can set your company up in just a couple days. The best part is that as long as you are doing your drug screening through our company, this service is offered free of charge.

So what's involved in getting set-up? Just send us your current drug screening policy - if we didn't set it up for you - and we will make the modifications necessary to add Random Screening. You then distribute the new policy to your employees and have them sign a new release form. During this time, we will enter all your employees into our system along with your random screening criteria. Thirty days after you have distributed your new policy to your employees, we will start the program. Each time someone should be screened, you will receive an e-mail telling you the primary and secondary persons who should be screened and where to send them. You have your employee go in for the test that day and get the results 24 hours later. It's just that easy.

	2.5 times more likely to have absences of eight days or more
	3 times more likely to be late for work
	3.6 times more likely to be involved in a workplace accident
	5 times more likely to be injured in an accident off the job, which affected attendance or job performance
	5 times more likely to file a workers' compensation claim
