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. --- _Susan Riegler_ Susan Riegler, Director Alden District Library 231/331-4318 Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2024 12:07:38 -0400 From: John Sheridan <jsheridanwbdlibrary@gmail.com> To: Perri Saunders <p.saunders@woodlands.lib.mi.us> Cc: michlib-l <michlib-l@mcls.org> Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] background checks Message-ID: <CANA6qE7DW+f5NiaOK_mehjKtU-kZNgFVG6p_rNb0nhDQ5Ntf0w@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" 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! Perri
