Fingerprint Check
First Advantage provides a web-based application & registration system allowing Diocesan personnel, contractor/vendors, clergy, religious, seminarians, and volunteers a means to process fingerprint-based criminal history background screenings in accordance with the Diocese of Venice Policy and Procedural Guidelines relating to the Protection of Children and Vulnerable Adults. The fingerprints are submitted electronically to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Federal Bureau of Investigation with the results available to the Diocesan Safe Environment Coordinator within 24 to 48 hours. The results are provided to the parish, school or other diocesan entity.
