Criminal Codes for Human Resource Reference

Since we at the Corra Group are a background checking service, we find that many of our clients are unfamiliar with the National Crime Informational Center (NCIC) codes, which is the uniform definitive list for criminal offenses.

The National Crime Information Center (NCIC) is the United States’s central database for tracking crime-related information, including wanted persons, missing persons, certain firearms, stolen property, and criminal histories. Operated by the FBI, it receives input from government agencies and all fifty state governments.

These codes are often found on your employment screening reports and may help you decide whether to hire a candidate or whether to pass. With the increase in pre-employment background checks, often by companies that have never ordered them before, we thought listing these codes would help familiarize newcomers and old hands alike with the different crimes.

Use this lookup chart for understanding NCIC Codes.

We hope you find this helpful.

Always Remember: Check Them Out Before You Hire.
