Many jobs and licenses require a BCI background check, an FBI background check, or both. Ohio Security & Investigations helps applicants from Salem, Leetonia, Washingtonville, Columbiana, and Lisbon complete fingerprint based checks accurately and send results to the right place.
BCI and FBI Background Checks Near Salem
Salem is the largest city in Columbiana County, with a historic downtown along East State Street, established neighborhoods, and surrounding townships that reach into Mahoning County. It is about thirty minutes from our office.
Many Salem residents commute to Youngstown, Canton, or Pittsburgh. Our team plans appointments and fieldwork around those schedules and confirms whether each address is within city limits or in a nearby township.
BCI Versus FBI
A BCI check searches Ohio criminal history records. An FBI check searches national records and is often required for people who have lived outside Ohio or for regulated roles. Your employer or licensing board decides which you need.
Avoid Paying Twice
The most common mistakes are a wrong reason code, a wrong recipient, or a name that does not match your ID. Ask for written instructions before your appointment, and our staff will review them with you.
