Business Editors
OCALA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 21, 2001
National Background Data, LLC (NBD), a privately
held company, today announced it has assembled
what it believes to be the largest collection of
criminal records outside of the FBI. This
collection includes 35 statewide criminal
records databases from 30 states, 27 states on
line, with more on order. All reports are
available immediately and are Fair Credit
Reporting Act-compliant.
Robert W. Holloran, Chairman and CEO of NBD
stated, "The attacks of September 11th
dramatically raised the awareness of employers
and property managers of the need to conduct
more comprehensive background checks on
prospective employees or tenants. In today's
mobile society, checking a single county or
state is not enough to identify an applicant's
entire criminal history. We compiled The
National Background Directory(TM) on line to
fill emerging needs for criminal background
searches across the nation. We believe we have
the most comprehensive screening tool available
today for the Nation's employers and property
managers. With our new affordably priced Let's
Check for America(TM) national screening
product, in a couple of minutes an applicant's
criminal history can currently be checked online
in 27 states."
The National Background Directory(TM) includes
criminal background information from a variety
of state and county criminal repositories,
courts, state departments of corrections and
other agencies. The statewide databases NBD has
online are from states with more than 60% of the
US population and include more than 30 million
criminal records. In the coming year, NBD
anticipates having more than 100 statewide
databases online from as many as 45 states and
the District of Columbia that cover about 95% of
the US population. NBD believes the only other
comparable national screening product is the
