Schweitzer, Acting City Administrator FROM: Susan Chow, Assistant to the City Administrator SUBJECT: Fingerprinting New Hires DATE: December 3, 1986 (6912) COPIES: ------------------------------------------------------------- Recommendation: Fingerprint all employees including full-time, part-time, permanent or temporary. Recruitment for part-time employees such as those in Recreation and Public Services should start earlier in order to fingerprint the employees at least 30 days prior to the actual start date. An evaluation will be done after twelve months to assess program effectiveness. The two departments primarily responsible Fingerprinting Program are Police and Personnel. for the Findinqs Ten Southern California cities were surveyed over the tele- phone on their policy to fingerprint new hires. They include Anaheim, Carlsbad, Garden Grove, Long Beach, Ontario, Pasa- dena, Pomona, Riverside, Santa Ana and Torrance. All the cities except one require fingerprinting of all full- time, permanent employees. City of Riverside fingerprints certain classifications. (Exhibit 1 - List of Classif- ications). All the cities except two forward the fingerprinting cards to the California Department of Justice for processing. The City of Anaheim fingerprints all gen- eral, fire and part-time police employees. However, the cards are simply filed in the Police Department and only local record checks made on these employees. Police personnel fingerprints are processed. The City of Garden Grove also has a similar policy for general employees, except they do process both the Police and Fire personnel fingerprints. Fingerprinting part-time personnel varies from police person- nel only to all personnel. The majority of the cities do fingerprint part-timers and process them through the Depart- ment of Justice. Exhibit 2 lists the detailed responses from the surveyed cities. INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM: 8612-701 Fingerprinting New Hires December 3, 1986 Page 2 Most of the cities cited the potential liability exposure as the main reason for fingerprinting all employees because most public employees (full-time and part-time) have regular contact with the public, children, money and/or other secur- ity information. It would be an administrative nightmare to sort out those employees who don't deal with one or all of the above. The information that can be gotten from a finger- print record far outweighs the administrative costs of handing and processing. Al of the cities surveyed pay for the processing charges. The only complaint is that it takes too long to get the rap sheets back before hiring. It takes about 6 to 8 weeks to obtain a response from the Department of Justice and a minimum of three months for a response from the Federal Bureau of Investigation that does the more detailed background checks including all arrests. But generally, they do come back within the probationary period, and dismissal of an employee can be done without cause. The Personnel Department in all of the cities surveyed is designated as the lead agency to review the rap sheets. Generally, an initial assessment is done whether the convic- tion(s) is job related and could impact the individual's job performance. Then a recommendation is made to the operating department for their final determination. Analysis of the City's Current Fingerprintinq Practice Gail Lindsay, Records Manager of the Police Department, is responsible for the fingerprinting program. Currently, only Police and Fire employees are fingerprinted. The custodians who work in the Police Department under contract are also being fingerprinted. When a Police employee's fingerprint comes back from the Department of Justice, a copy is forwarded to the Personnel and Training Office for filing as required by P.O.S.T. Sergeant Wood, in charge of this office, reviews the rap sheet and notifies the Captain in charge. Police Records file all the original records including the Fire employees. If a Fire records returns with a rap sheet, Mrs. Lindsay notifies the Fire Chief of any conviction information. As you can see, the current Fingerprint Program is limited in scope. The Recreation Division hires an estimate of 150 part-timers (including turnovers) annually to work with children at the playgrounds, or as lifeguards at the pools but they are not fingerprinted. Also, due to the large number of applicants, the application is the only source of information about the person and reference checks are seldom made. The other department that hires a large number of ~art-timers on a year round basis, Public Services, hires about 100 persons (including turnovers). Those who are in the weed abatement and graffiti program work on private INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM: 8612-701 Fingerprinting New Hires December 3, 1986 Page 3 properties and those who are assigned to streets and refuse have regular contact with the public and are probably the most visible City employees. Although a DMV check is made on each person, they are also not fingerprinted. Compared to the cities surveyed, our method of screening employees is lax and we are exposed on a daily basis to inviting undesirable employees. A few problems caused by part-time employees have already surfaced. Procedures to Implement the Finqerprint Program Typically, a person is first offered a position with a department in the City. As a part of the orientation process he/she will be sent over to the Police Department for fingerprinting as part of their appointment checklist. Part- time employees hired on a limited term should get fingerprin- ted at least 30 days prior to the actual start date, since 6- 8 weeks are needed to receive the information back from the Department of Justice. This will minimize the City's expos- ure to potential liability. In order to effect this action, the recruitment of part-time has to be scheduled ahead. ~nen the Police Department receives the information from the Department of Justice, it will file fingerprints with a red "no record" stamp. If a record has convictions, the finger- prints will come back with a rap sheet attached stating date of the arrest, when it was booked, type of charges and disposition information. These rap sheets should immediately be forwarded to the Personnel Department for the initial assessment based on job descriptions and general understand- ing of work requirements to determine if the violation is job related and if it could impact the person's ability to perform effectively. The City Attorney's Office will assist in interpreting the charges based on the Penal Codes written on the rap sheets, and provide any legal counsel to the Personnel Department as necessary. A recommendation is then made to the hiring department for their final determination. The Personnel Department should keep a log of the action taken and inform the City Administrator as necessary. The Police and Fire Departments will continue the current practice of reviewing their own employees' fingerprint records, and making the final determination. All records should be filed with the Police Department. Program effectiveness will be evaluated after twelve months. During this 12 month period, the Police Department will document on a monthly basis the number of persons fingerprin- ted by classification and employment status (full-time or part-time) and categorize rap sheet received by major convic- tion types. This report will be supplemented by the log Personnel keeps to record each action taken by the hiring INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM: 8612-701 Fingerprinting New Hires December 3, 1986 Page 4 departments. I would recommend that a line item be placed in the Police Budget to pay for all fingerprinting. According to M. J. perlick, $1,500 would be the approximate maximum monthly cost ($18,000 annually). This will be based on an anticipated fingerprinting between 60 and 90 employees per month (full and part-time included, new and turnovers). I further recommend that the City pay for all fingerprinting. Current- ly, Police employees pay $17.50 for the processing charges and are not reimbursed by the Department. However, the Fire Department does reimburse the Fire employees. This creates an inequity. Every city surveyed pays for the fingerprinting charges. The City is, in fact, the beneficiary of the information because knowledge of an employee's criminal history will minimize the City's liability and give more confidence to the citizens we serve. Deputy City Attorney John Wilson made a determination fingerprinting of new hires is not a meet and confer ~ith the Unions. that item Furthermore, the City should be in support of any future legislation that authorizes local agencies who have the resources to process fingerprint records. This will shorten the current turnaround time of 6-8 weeks by the California Department of Justice which greatly hampers local agencies' ability to take ~ick action on a new employee. -~.j;;{.,~ 'SUSAN CHOW Assistant to the City Administrator SLC/md Attachments I tfl tfl Q) :J..:.: "0 ..:.: "0 tfl E I I ~ 0 U Q) Q) U Q) c:: "0 "0 I "0 Q) c:: c t\3::r:: Q) Q) tfl Q) tfl .....
