Background Screening Stories in the City of Oklahoma City, OK
In January of 2021 in Oklahoma City, OK, a caretaker was arrested from stealing a wedding ring from an elderly couple that was valued at $10,000. When confronted, the caretaker denied taking the ring. It was discovered later that she took the ring and pawned it at an Oklahoma City pawn shop.
The theft occurred after a background check from care.com missed the fact that a caregiver was wanted in another state for aggravated identity theft.
Master Sergeant of the Oklahoma City Police Department said, "There are many, many caretakers in this world that do a wonderful job for people who are fine upstanding human beings, but just like any line of work, there are some people who get into that line of work that shouldn't be in it."

Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation's Public Information Officer, Brook Arbeitman, said "Background checks are public record, and it has been a goal of the OSBI to make it more convenient for employers or just general citizens to be able to find out who's hanging around their parents, or their pets, or their homes or businesses."
