2. We Run Your Names Nationwide 24/7
Our workforce monitoring service continuously runs employees’ names to search for arrest data across the country

If one of your employees is arrested, as soon as the arresting agency enters that information into their system, it will trigger an alert for InfoMart
4. We Follow Your Next Steps to Report the Arrest Info
Depending on your preference, InfoMart will either send the raw arrest alert to you, call the arresting agency to confirm details before sending the arrest alert to you, or track court activity and alert you only after the arrest becomes a court case
Criminal Monitoring Empowers Companies to Expand Their Hiring Pools
One of the unique benefits of continuous criminal monitoring? It allows companies across the United States to implement a fair chance hiring program that doesn’t sacrifice safety and security.
Business leaders are understandably wary of hiring ex-offenders. Criminal monitoring puts that worry to ease. Relax your pre-employment criminal history disqualifiers by implementing an ongoing arrest monitoring solution.
Make hiring decisions based on current behavior rather than past convictions, with the safety net that you’ll be alerted to any new criminal activity.
Customizable Alert Protocols That Fit Your Needs
After InfoMart receives the arrest alert, we follow the path you’ve chosen during set-up.
Three tiers to choose from:
Arrest Alerts
- Our analysts will pass arrest alerts on to your team immediately.
Court Tracked Alerts
- Our team will follow the arrest notification to see if it becomes a court case. If it does, we will pass that information on you.
Verified Alerts
- We will call the arresting agency to confirm identifiers and relevant information before passing the alert to you.
If you decide an individual booking event requires further research, simply click to kick it into a higher tier.
Our team takes it from there. It’s really that simple!

Are Real-Time Background Checks Right for My Industry?
Continuous Criminal Monitoring Is the Solution Everyone Agrees On
Benefits for HR
You strive to maintain a productive, engaged workforce.
An automated, efficient continuous criminal monitoring program for employees achieves this goal. Here are the benefits you can enjoy with this workforce monitoring solution:
- Automated, real-time background checks. We get it—you’re busy. Once set up, InfoMart’s continuous criminal monitoring solution is automated, so it requires little work on your part. It’ll run itself, allowing you to focus on your employees.
- A dynamic profile of your current employees’ criminal activity. A pre-employment background check tells you what’s happened in your candidate’s past, but it doesn’t offer any information about who they are right now. In addition to keeping your workplace safe, real-time arrest monitoring allows HR to initiate workplace intervention or suggest counseling for struggling employees.
- Cost-effective solution to mitigate violence and liability. Keep your existing workforce safe by receiving immediate notification of violent, erratic, or otherwise dangerous criminal activity. When you choose continuous criminal monitoring, you’re choosing to be fully informed—empowering HR professionals to make the right decisions for their entire employee pool.

Benefits for Security & Risk
You spend most of your day securing your company from external threats, both physical and digital. Every security professional knows that insider threats are becoming increasingly common and expensive—but did you know that 52% of employers never re-screen their employees?
Continuous evaluation tools are the solution, and InfoMart’s continuous criminal monitoring program should be one of those tools. Here’s why:
- Automated background checks. A robust security strategy monitors the dozens, hundreds, or thousands of people who interact with your product, systems, and physical assets every day. It doesn’t have to be time-consuming or expensive. InfoMart’s continuous criminal monitoring program runs itself, and it costs less than a lawsuit or data security breach will cost.
- Real-time insight. If your company runs annual re-screens on their existing workforce, you will eventually find out if a current employee has been convicted of a crime. But in the months between arrest and re-screen, they have access to your personnel, your building, and your systems. Real-time background checks alert you to criminal activity the day the arresting agency puts it into their system.
- Reduce workplace violence, theft, and fraud. Early intervention is necessary to prevent destructive behavior from making its way into the office. At the end of the day, security’s job is to protect the company from threats, and intel is key. Continuous criminal monitoring offers actionable, real-time intelligence you can use to do your job.

Benefits for Legal
Protecting your company’s reputation, staff, and bottom line from costly lawsuits if your primary focus. Continuous criminal monitoring provides real-time insight into possible threats to this goal. Here’s how workforce monitoring helps:
- Actionable data. Real-time background checks wouldn’t be very helpful if you couldn’t legally use the information to make termination decisions. InfoMart’s continuous criminal monitoring results are always actionable. If arrest data is not actionable in your employee’s state of residence, we will track the case until it becomes a court case.
- Close risk gaps in your current procedures. Most employers conduct a pre-employment background check, but less than half do any type of re-screening after hire. These gaps in your risk mitigation strategy can cause hefty liability fees down the line. Real-time background checks via arrest monitoring closes those gaps.
- Ongoing, documented adherence to company policy. If your company policy doesn’t allow employees to have theft, violence, or drug convictions, but you’re not conducting regular rescreens—then you’re just trusting your workforce to self-report behavior that will get them fired. Continuous criminal monitoring is a safety net, and it runs seamlessly in the background, so it doesn’t require much manpower.

You’ve Got Questions – We’ve Got Answers
What is continuous criminal monitoring?
Continuous criminal monitoring is, essentially, real-time background checks. You may have heard it referred to as workforce monitoring, arrest monitoring, criminal records monitoring, or something similar. Continuous monitoring provides near-real-time alerts about new criminal activity within your workforce.
How does continuous criminal monitoring work?
Our system will continuously match your employees against nationwide arrest information. If one of your employees is arrested, it will trigger an alert in InfoMart’s system. We will then follow your protocols, decided at the account set-up stage. We will either:
- Send the arrest alert to you
- Call the arresting agency to confirm the information and then send the arrest alert to you
- Track the arrest until it becomes a court case and then deliver that information to you
How is continuous criminal monitoring different than recurring screening or annual background checks?
Re-screening only informs you of new criminal activity at the time you do the re-screen—so the arrest may have occurred 8 months prior to the new background check. Continuous criminal monitoring is a real-time background check that is run 24/7, so it provides information as soon as the arresting agency enters it into the system.
Will I need to amend my hiring and employment policies?
Most likely yes. Your legal counsel should advise you in light of jurisdictional regulations.
How does pricing work?
Monitoring is a monthly subscription price, based on the number of individuals who are being monitored and the level of alert you’d like to receive. Mandatory fees are built into the monthly fee, so you’ll never be surprised by the cost.
When am I alerted to a new arrest?
We will help you customize this based on your needs. At account set up, you can choose which alert level works for you:
- Tier one is “arrest alerts,” and you receive notification as soon as the arresting agency inputs the booking event.
- Tier two is “verified alerts,” and you receive the notification as soon as InfoMart has verified your employee’s identifiers with the arresting agency.
- Tier three is “court tracked alerts,” and you receive the notification after the arrest has become a court case.
Regardless of your default setting, you can move a single event into a higher tier if you’d like additional information. You can complete this request with a simple click of a button in the system.
How does continuous criminal monitoring help my company culture?
Great question! Many companies recognize that continuous criminal monitoring empowers them to include candidates with prior criminal histories in their candidate pool. With the peace of mind that they will be notified if new criminal behavior arises, HR departments across America are using real-time background checks to offer employment to a new pool of applicants.
Workforce monitoring also makes employees feel safer at work, which improves employee morale and company loyalty.
