Should I check Federal criminal records on my applicants?

Updated: Dec 2, 2020



Law enforcement and prosecution both happen at the federal and state levels.

A federal crime is prosecuted under federal criminal law, as opposed to state and local laws where most crimes are prosecuted.


You will not find federal records in a County, Statewide or National criminal searches.

To receive a comprehensive report on an applicant’s entire criminal record, both state and federal records need to be conducted.


Some example of federal crimes are:


  • Interstate Crime

  • Organized Crime

  • Criminal Exploitation

  • Distribution of a Controlled Substance

  • Bank Fraud

  • Racketeering

  • Bank Robbery

  • Crimes Committed on Government Property

  • Embezzlement
