Rewind Background Checking Services Launches VolunteerWatch™ Volunteer Screening Solution.

June 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Rewind Background Checking Services, an employment screening and criminal background checking company (provider of previous employment verification, drivers’ records and drug testing services) today introduced the official launch of VolunteerWatch™, a comprehensive screening solution for volunteer organizations of all kinds.

VolunteerWatch™ provides information gathered from national, federal, state, and local sources, including past criminal activity records obtained directly from local county courts. VolunteerWatch ™ reviews sexual offender data to reveal candidates who have been convicted of sexual offenses.   VolunteerWatch ™ also empowers volunteer organizations to protect vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly, while also protecting their valuable reputations as safe harbors within the communities they serve.

Accounts of misconduct by trusted volunteers in community service organizations have become common place.  Consequently, community organizations are now taking a much closer look at those who work with children and other vulnerable populations.  Implementation of a thorough background screening process is increasingly being viewed as a critical component in reviewing the qualifications of those who are entrusted with the safety of our loved ones.  In fact, it has been reported that as many as 1 in 7 church background checks have uncovered criminal histories.  VolunteerWatch ™ provides community and faith-based organizations access to critical information regarding past activities of potential volunteers so that organization leaders can make informed business decisions and take steps towards minimizing the risk of a dangerous situation before it occurs.  

"VolunteerWatch ™ is a valuable tool for protecting the interests of nonprofit organizations," stated David Taylor, Rewind’s President. "VolunteerWatch ™ will prove to be a key asset for those whose aims are to serve our communities, allowing them to select suitable volunteers to advance their goals with the peace of mind afforded by professional screening."

VolunteerWatch ™ is available to qualified non-profit entities.  For-profit entities and government agencies qualify for the entire scope of background checking services, including advanced executive level screening.
