Level 1 Fingerprinting

DoYouKnowFingerprintRest assured when you hire Hesscor to build or repair a playground, or public recreation site, that all the employees have Level 1 Fingerprint Cards. What’s that mean to you? It means all employees’ backgrounds have been throughly checked and approved. You’ll have no worries about who is working on your project.

In 2009, a new law went into effect that created two types of fingerprint clearance cards rather than just one type. Beginning on July 1, 2009, DPS began issuing Level 1 Fingerprinti cards, in addition to the standard fingerprint clearance cards. There are more types of criminal charges that can cause a Level I card to be denied or suspended, so the Level I card is more restrictive and harder to get. Standard cards correspond, for the most part, with the fingerprint clearance card that existed prior to the legislative changes.
