Desde principios de 2000, el Departamento de Policía de Oxnard ha estado llevando a cabo los servicios de toma de huellas dactilares electrónicas al público. Since that time, the demand for this service has increased as legislation has become stricter in conducting background checks for licensing and employment. Where at one point it took several weeks to receive the results of a fingerprint background check, organizations can now receive State results as quickly as 24 horas desde el momento en que las huellas dactilares son enviadas.
Hay una variedad de razones por las que una persona tendría que tener sus huellas digitales para la verificación de antecedentes. Licensing agencies for real estate professionals, social service workers (para cuidado de niños y ancianos) y los guardias de seguridad son algunos ejemplos que tienen pautas estrictas hay que pasar antes de que se les da la licencia. Las agencias gubernamentales y las escuelas también requieren que la verificación de antecedentes se archive antes de que puedan contratar a una persona. Police agencies are some of the strictest government agencies and must have a clearance through the Department of Justice, FBI, Child Abuse Index and a firearms clearance for police officers.
At the City of Oxnard, when applying for a permit, such as to drive a taxi, the applicant must first have a background check conducted through the electronic fingerprint process (scan en tiempo real). Nuestros ordenanzas locales de la ciudad dictan lo que los delitos no pueden estar en el registro de uno antes de que se expida un permiso. Estos delitos varían dependiendo de permiso. Background checks on individuals who are doing business within the city, such as door-to-door solicitors or street vendors, are conducted to keep our community safe. The Police Department receives notification of any arrests on anyone who holds an active permit and if the arresting offense makes them ineligible for the permit, they can have their permit revoked.
