Crimshield Certification–ARPOLA’s Exclusive Partner for the Nation’s Best Background Verification.

As a rental property owner you have a responsibility to send not only qualified service personnel on your property, but non-criminals, too. Imagine your potential liability if your pest control providers sent out to your property a convicted felon like a sex offender. Now you can insist only CrimShield Certified service personnel are sent to your property for all types of services like plumbing, electrical, pool cleaning, pest control, flooring and more. Also, as a CrimShield rental property owner, you can let your residents know that you are a landlord they can trust.

A CrimShield Certified vendor, owner or property manager has met all of the stringent qualifications, which have been verified by private investigators, including but not limited to, the following:

  • Have a United States Government issued identification card.
  • No criminal history has been found by CrimShield in the following categories:
    • Violent misdemeanors for the last five (5) years.
    • Drug related misdemeanor within the last five (5) years
    • Felonies for the past ten (10) years.
    • No pending or looming legal action which may result in a misdemeanor or felony conviction.
    • Any sex crime ever.
    • Any crime involving children, ever.
  • Verified Personal Profile.
  • Professionally investigated and verified background check.
  • Current, accurate personal photograph with required validation from employer.
  • Agreement to share their crime-free history.
  • Agreement to live by the CrimShield Code of Conduct.

All CrimShield background checks use the most recent and verifiable information available. CrimShield does not rely solely on database searches which are often outdated and inaccurate. Their checks focus on first, determining that the applicant is who they say they are; second, that they have an accurate criminal history.

All CrimShield Certified employees are issued ID cards which bear their photo, name and company logo. These ID cards should be available for online verification to any resident or management employee.

Why Use Verified Service Personnel?

If you send a plumber, electrician, exterminator or any other type of service personnel to your rental property, you are liable for their actions. Our solution gives you the CrimShield Advantage when looking for vendors to bring onto your property. With the CrimShield Advantage, the process of providing maintenance would play out like this:

  • You place a call to a CrimShield Certified plumber to repair the damage.
  • The plumber sends you an e-mail confirming the appointment. Included in this e-mail is a photo of the technician who will be coming to your property, their name and a link to the background check results for this individual.
  • Also included in this e-mail is a customer response form that is sent directly from you to the company.
  • When the technician arrives at your property they will have their CrimShield ID card available for examination. You can verify all of the information that you received in the previous e-mail.
  • Confidently hand the keys to the technician knowing that they have been CrimShield Certified.
  • If any issues arise, send an e-mail directly to the company.

The CrimShield Advantage makes vendors more responsible, knowing that they can be reported on by unsatisfied clients. Your liability is greatly reduced by bringing only CrimShield Certified vendors on to your property.
