== Background check requirement policy ==


== Implementation Details ==
There are three ways to satisfy the background check requirement.


There are three ways to satisfy this requirement:
#[Mailto:net@portlandoregon.gov?subject=Background%20check%20option%201 Email PBEM] a scan or verification link to a license or permit that requires a criminal background check. Examples include a medical license, a TSA Trusted Traveler ID, or a concealed weapon permit. The license or permit issue date must be no more than three years prior to the volunteer's activation date.
#[Mailto:net@portlandoregon.gov?subject=Background%20check%20option%202 Email PBEM] a copy of a criminal background check conducted by a third party within the past 18 months, such as an employer. We might need to verify the check with the organization who conducted it. PBEM does ''not'' need a detailed criminal background report. PBEM ''only'' needs confirmation that a criminal background check was conducted and that the volunteer passed it.
# Use PBEM's background check service at no cost to the volunteer by [Mailto:net@portlandoregon.gov?subject=Background%20check%20option%203 emailing PBEM that you want 'option 3'] and PBEM will initiate the process through our third-party service provider, [https://www.sterlingvolunteers.com/ Sterling Volunteers]. It is done entirely online and results are usually returned within two days. You receive a copy for your own review and use. Please see below for the PBEM-provided background check process.
