Hello,

We also use ICHAT, but they don't charge us since we're a library. See the page, How to register as an Agency in the new ICHAT system, https://apps.michigan.gov/Home/ViewHelpTutorialPDFDoc on their website.

At West Branch we use IChat.  It is the Michigan State Police site.  It
cost $10. for each person you check.  When you get to the homepage login as
a guest.  They do take credit cards for payment.  It is fast and easy to
use.

We've never done background checks for staff or volunteers, but with our
outreach vehicle almost ready to go, we are going to start.
How does this work?
Is there a company you use?  What is the cost and timeframe?  What else
should I know?
Thanks for any help you can give!
