Ensuring the safety and security of educational institutions is a fundamental responsibility that requires diligent oversight, strategic planning, and proactive risk mitigation. In today’s climate, where security threats are an ever-present concern, establishing a comprehensive and reliable safety framework is not just an option—it is an absolute necessity. At Ohio Security & Investigations, we are committed to assisting schools, childcare centers, and educational organizations in implementing highly effective security measures that safeguard students, faculty, and visitors.

One of the most critical components of institutional security is comprehensive background screening, which ensures that only qualified and thoroughly vetted individuals are permitted to work within school environments. Ohio Security & Investigations provides state-of-the-art Livescan BCI and FBI fingerprinting services, utilizing advanced technology to capture high-resolution biometric data for real-time transmission to the appropriate agencies. This expedited and highly precise process delivers fast, reliable results, significantly improving the efficiency of personnel screening and reducing administrative delays.

Under the Ohio Revised Code, the following individuals are legally mandated to undergo electronic fingerprinting before working in an educational setting:
– Licensed teachers and educators (ORC 3319.291, FBI Code 3319.291)
– School administrators and superintendents (ORC 3319.291, FBI Code 3319.291)
– Substitute teachers (ORC 3319.291, FBI Code 3319.291)
– School bus drivers (ORC 3327.10, FBI Code 3327.10)
– Non-teaching school employees (ORC 3319.39B1, FBI Code 3319.39)
– Volunteers in direct contact with students (ORC 3319.39B1, FBI Code 3319.39)
– Preschool program personnel (ORC 3301.541, FBI Code 3301.541)

Livescan fingerprinting is a critical security measure that goes beyond compliance—it is an essential safeguard that enhances institutional security, protects students, and ensures adherence to state and federal guidelines. Schools must prioritize this advanced biometric screening to maintain a secure and trustworthy environment where children can learn without risk.
