How confident are you with your organization’s hiring practices? Will they detect potential problem employees” and safeguard your enterprise from dishonest individuals who could destroy your credibility and integrity? How do you determine who might lie, cheat, steal or worse?

The answers are in effective background investigations of potential employees, which, in some cases, federal law mandates. For example, the Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act (P.L. 101-630) requires that a character investigation be conducted on anyone in a position that involves contact with children. Likewise, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) specifies requirements for tribal gaming operations.

During this three-day class, an experienced investigator will guide you through the interviewing and background check processes. We’ll cover general information on background investigations for gaming operations and those organizations that may work more closely with children. This class will help you master the skills needed to detect deception and other behaviors that could imperil your operation. The tools that you’ll gain from this class will help ensure that your organization is protected.
