Family Watchdog and Visitor Management - Sex Offender Check Process
Learn how Family Watch Dog is integrated with Visitor Management to perform Sex Offender checks on visitors and volunteers..
Navigate360 Visitor Management uses Family Watchdog to perform searches against national sex offender registries for all new and returning visitors and volunteers.
Key Functionalities:
- Family Watchdog pulls from each state’s Sex Offender database and updates as soon as the states’ databases update.
- The system is cloud-based and is not a static database; it is updated consistently at the same pace as the different states’ regular updates/requirements (they all vary).
- The system searches all 50 states, DC, Guam, Virgin Islands, PR, and all 26 US Indian Tribes.
- Family Watchdog searches for nicknames associated to the name entered (for example, Johnathan > John, Jon; Robert > Bob)
- In Navigate360 Visitor Management, a sex offender check is performed with every visitor and/or volunteer check-in via any of the below various methods –
- ID scan
- QR code via mobile app (visitors only)
- Manual entry of visitor details
- Returning visitor/volunteer - existing profile
- The sex offender check performed by Family Watchdog is an API call - needing only the first name, last name, and date of birth to search and identify potential matches.
- Once a match has been declined, our system will remember that decline and not return the result again but will continue to search for new matches.
