INSIDE BACKGROUND SCREENING – continued


Cost of a Bad Hire vs. Cost of a Background Check – continued from page 20


at least $25,000 in the last year. I don‘t know about you, but I wouldn‘t want to throw that kind of money away on a whim or due to the need to fill a position right away. Not convinced yet? CareerBuilder‘s survey also reported that, 25 percent of employers said a bad hire cost them at least $50,000 in the last year.


If you‘re guaranteed the most thorough background check results, providing you the necessary information to make smarter hiring decisions for a cost of around $100.00 why wouldn‟t you? Would it not make good sense or would you rather spend thousands of dollars to take a gamble that you might be making a bad hire.

The Well-Vetted Workforce


Having transparent policies for conducting background checks and drug screening along with following best practices in theses areas can help a firm avoid poor hiring practices. The wrong hire can pose major security and liability threats to a company. Therefore, a firm's comprehensive security program, which probably covers crisis management, emergency preparedness, surveillance, and physical security, should also include efforts aimed at securing a company from problem employees.


Preemployment screening helps to weed out potential con artists, substance abusers, and other undesirables, as well as identifies candidates who might pose a physical threat to staff and/or property. Numerous studies have reported that respondents consistently rank improving the safety and security of the workplace as one of the top benefits of background checks. For these reasons security managers should understand and help implement best practices in screening.

SCHOOL VIOLENCE - continued


Simple Solutions for School Security That Works - continued from page 6


Exterior Security We need to concentrate our uniform security and law enforcement presence in constant, vigilant patrolling of exterior parking lots, alleyways, adjoining properties and public access areas.


Access Control


With students being the "Active Shooter" the majority of the time, we must prevent those firearms from getting past the school doors.


Physical Security


Use your physical security wisely. Patrol parking lots, challenge suspicious persons, don't allow loitering, maintain "physical" access control of the building and monitor the interior campus, responding to incidents or issues that only require immediate intervention from uniformed security or law enforcement personnel. Don't take officers away from their primary task of physical security.
