Arrest Alert — Protecting Students and Staff with Real-Time Notifications
Introduction
Background checks are essential for schools and non-profits, but they are only a snapshot in time. An employee or volunteer could pass a screening in August and face serious legal issues months later. Without continuous monitoring, schools and organizations remain unaware of potential risks until it’s too late.
This is where Arrest Alert from SafeHiring Solutions steps in. Arrest Alert provides real-time monitoring and immediate notifications whenever someone in your organization is arrested. For just $1 per person per month, it adds a powerful layer of protection that keeps students, staff, and communities safe.
Why Schools and Non-Profits Need Real-Time Arrest Monitoring
The Limits of Traditional Screening
Most schools and nonprofits rely on background checks that are conducted once—often during hiring. While valuable, this approach only shows an individual’s history up to the date of the check. It does not account for arrests or legal issues that occur later.
Without ongoing monitoring:
Risk may go unnoticed until a serious incident occurs.
Parents and stakeholders may lose trust.
Organizations may face compliance challenges.
Real-Time Monitoring as a Safety Imperative
Arrest Alert ensures that safety is dynamic, not static. Schools and non-profits can:
Continuously monitor active staff and volunteers
Receive immediate alerts by email or text if a monitored person is arrested
Quickly take action to protect their communities
How Arrest Alert Works
SafeHiring Solutions’ Arrest Alert system is simple yet powerful:
Enrollment: Staff and volunteers are entered into the monitoring system during onboarding.
Ongoing Monitoring: Arrest Alert continuously scans relevant public records and databases for incidents.
Instant Notifications: Alerts are sent instantly to administrators when there’s a match, with details to take next steps.
This proactive approach means safety decisions aren’t made after the fact—they happen in real time.
Case Study: Arrest Alert in Action
Consider a nonprofit youth organization that employs dozens of volunteers for after-school programs. In August, all volunteers pass thorough background checks. Six months later, one volunteer is arrested for an offense unrelated to the organization’s activities.
Without Arrest Alert, the organization wouldn’t learn about the arrest until an incident occurred. With Arrest Alert, administrators receive an immediate notification and can restrict access until the matter is resolved.
This kind of real-time intervention not only protects children but also safeguards the organization from legal and reputational harm.
