I’m your ice cream man background check me when I’m passing by

Seems like background checks are on everyone’s minds these days, especially when we consider the potential harm to our children.  It doesn’t take much for people to think this way, just a few scandals involving a school bus driver, a teacher, or even an ice cream man.  Make sure your business isn’t the one caught in the news hiring a sex offender who then attacks a child or student.  The negative publicity will create a public relations nightmare for your firm and you will need a strong crisis management team to pull your business out of the muck.

The South County Journal recently discussed running background checks on Ice Cream Truck Drivers in your neighborhood.   

Greg Sloan, manager of Frosty Treats, 4230 N. Broadway, said the business requires background checks for its drivers, even if the municipality where they work does not require them.

A Higher Source
Regardless of local regulations, try to maintain a higher standard for your background check program.  Not only will you enjoy a higher quality workforce you will prevent negative press related to a negligent hiring situation.   Because Davie Lee Roth might be a good Rock n Roll singer, but you sure don’t want him selling ice cream to your children.
