    Criminal History Court Record SearchNational Criminal Profile Report*
    This initial criminal record search is researched through a broad proprietary database containing more than 245 million criminal records. This information is compiled from a variety of sources: state and county criminal record repositories; prison, parole and release files, state agencies and Sex Offender Registries, where available. View the multi-state coverage

    *Generally these records do not contain the subjects’ date of birth and therefor are NOT complaint with the FCRA until the records are verified at the local county courthouse. Each county courthouse on-site search is $19.00, plus any TPA fees.

     Using database criminal record searches ONLY is not legal in
    California for employment or tenant suitability purposes.

    There are NO database searches that contain sufficient information for employment or tenant suitability hiring decisions for California based companies and residents. ALL CRIMINAL RECORDS FOUND MUST BE FIRST VERIFIED BY COUNTY COURT RECORDS PRIOR TO TAKING ADVERSE ACTION. The employer is legally responsible for violations of this state law, and fines can be heavy.

The requirements for DOT drug testing differ from non-DOT in the following:

    49 CFR Part 40 (DOT drug and alcohol testing regulations)
    These regulations define the reporting requirements and responsibilities of the MRO and C/TPA as well as the responsibilities of the Employer DER (Designated Employer Representative). 

    DATIA NAADATP accreditation
    STAT America is one of only 3% of TPAs nationally that is certified by the Drug & Alcohol Testing Industry Association. As outlined by the accreditation standards, STAT America has requirements and responsibilities that go beyond Part 40 into administration and operational procedures.

STAT America will operate as both the Medical Review Officer (MRO) and the Third Party Administrator (TPA) in accordance with federal regulations. The administrative details are:

    1.  STAT America will report results directly to the Designated Employee Representative (DER).

    2.  Acting as the TPA, STAT America will be able to work directly with the client (including random selection communication). 

    3.  A signed Client Services Agreement (CSA) outlines our services and responsibilities.

    4.  Invoicing will be handled by HIRE-SAFE.

Some additional information:
The DER is a person at the employer, generally a supervisor, that can remove employees from safety-sensitive positions should they test positive, etc.  STAT America only coordinates DOT testing for the following DOT testing modes:  FAA, FMCSA, FTA, and PHMSA.  STAT America does not coordinate DOT testing programs for "owner operators," which would be a person who owns his or her own semi and works as an independent shipping contractor. Most employers that must comply with DOT regulations are covered by the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration (FMCSA) and eligibility is dependent on whether the employee is driving a CMV (Covered Motor Vehicle). 

Random Program Coordination:
Random testing is a requirement of all DOT Model Agencies.  The rates differ by Agency and can be found on the DOT Website.  To set up the program, a list of eligible employees and their SSN’s are provided to HIRE-SAFE. Lists are emailed in password-protected Excel format to the DER and alternate contact(s).  

The Random Testing Rate for Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is:

  • Drug Testing at 50%       
  • Alcohol Testing at 10%
