CAREFULLY SELECTED AND HIGHLY TRAINED PERSONNEL

 

We are team-oriented.  All Field Investigators are former public safety professionals.  Guardian's Investigations Assistants and Specialists are carefully screened and trained to follow Guardian's investigation protocols.  

Communication is key with agency liaisons updated regularly to allow early termination of a background, if warranted.

DOCUMENTED INTERNAL PROCESSES
FOR CASE FLOW


With 18 years of experience, we
have devel
oped efficiency, accuracy, and thoroughness by documenting our intricate set of processes.  Our own rules and guidelines govern how our personnel interact with all parties as they utilize technology to gather, evaluate, and organize information in the process of delivering high-quality, thorough, and timely investigative reports, which are digital.

21ST CENTURY TECHNOLOGY
We use cloud-based background management software, which complies with the
FBI CJIS Security Policy, which helps ensure accuracy and thoroughness, reduces the chances of human error, and increases efficiency while enhancing quality.  This provides our staff and field investigators with the tools needed to ensure each of the 56+ touchpoints is accomplished. 
Clients are provided their own portal to add applicants for screening, at no additional charge.
