InformData

Every CRA knows that people-data from Cook County, Illinois destroys turnaround times, costs more than other data, and is the bane of your reputation. Why? Historically there have been too few public access terminals for researchers to process criminal background checks in a timely manner and records access is not yet automatable. The 37 available terminals were just too few to handle the volume. Well, that’s changing.

As part of its commitment to make people-data equitably accessible to all, InformData, together with the local Cook County government are nearly doubling the number of terminals. In the coming weeks, at least 30 additional terminals will be added and made accessible to all!

Topics range from the redaction of personally identifiable information from court records to new Fair Chance Hiring laws in New York City to why tenant screening should be more attractive to those who conduct employment background checks in short order.
