Evidence: 1. The record for staff #18 did not contain documentation of a completed criminal record check from Alabama. The sworn statement indicated staff #18 had previously lived in Alabama within the last 5 years. 2. Staff #19 reviewed the record for the staff #18 and confirmed that the criminal record check from the state (Alabama) in which staff #18 previously resided in has not been received prior to employment.”
