  
Electronic Fingerprint
Capture.
We are very pleased to be able to
offer Electronic Fingerprinting Services for the
State of Ohio and to our community.
WebCheck® is an innovative program developed by
the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and
Investigation (BCI&I) to reduce the chances
of persons convicted of sex crimes, certain
misdemeanors and felonies having access to our
children or other vulnerable citizens of Ohio. A
major component of Ohio AFIS allows us to submit
civilian background checks to the bureau through
the World Wide Web. WebCheck®, which uses the
Internet to electronically transfer fingerprints
and other data from our agency to BCI, was
implemented in 1999. Participating agencies
include school districts, education associations,
children, hospitals and public institutions. This
new technology profoundly impacts the speed at
which results of the background checks are
available. The electronic process greatly
benefits employers who want a comprehensive
statewide search, mandated industries and
individuals with licensure requirements.
This search meets the requirements for charter
and community schools, day care providers,
nursing homes, foster caretakers, adoptive
parents and driving record instructors.
