An Alaska Screening Investigation Report is a comprehensive background check conducted by the Alaska Department of Public Safety (DPS). It includes a comprehensive search of criminal records, motor vehicle records, and sex offender registry records. The report is available to employers, landlords, and other organizations that need to perform a thorough check of an individual's background. The report is also used for background screening purposes for individuals applying for state jobs, grants, and contracts. There are two types of Alaska Screening Investigation Reports: • The Comprehensive Report provides the most comprehensive and detailed search of an individual's background. It includes information from Alaska's criminal record database, motor vehicle records, and sex offender registry records. • The Limited Report provides a more limited background check. It includes information from Alaska's criminal records' database, and motor vehicle records. It does not include information from the sex offender registry. Both types of reports provide employers, landlords, and other organizations with an accurate picture of an individual's past. The reports are also used to ensure that state employees, contractors, and grant recipients meet the necessary background screening requirements.
