UNIS LUMIN & Kingston Police Launch Online eCriminal Background Check – Save Time, Do It Online
Partnership Leverages UNIS LUMIN's Application Development Solutions to redefine how service to the community is offered in Kingston.
Oakville, Ontario (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) September 2, 2005 -- The Kingston Police today launched a new online
service (www.kpf.ca) that makes it
easier for the citizens of Kingston to obtain criminal background checks
required for employment or volunteer purposes. Developed by UNIS LUMIN, the
eCriminal Background Check service automates a chore that previously required an
individual to go to the Kingston Police station, obtain an application, complete
it and return it to the police station for processing.
Not only does the
eCriminal Background Check system provide citizens with a much more efficient
easy process to obtain their background check, it provides the police with gains
in productivity by eliminating some of the manual processing of those
applications.
The new online application integrates e-commerce
capabilities allowing applicants to complete, submit, and pay for a criminal
background check from any web browser connected to the Internet any time of the
day or night. When the background check is complete, the applicant will
automatically receive an email notification to come to the police station with
photo identification to pick up the final report. This requirement to attend the
police station with picture identification protects the personal information by
ensuring it is only released to the person noted on the application.
"This new online service is intended to be a win-win situation. Most
important, those members of our community that are able to take advantage of
this service save time by not having to travel to the Kingston Police station
twice. In addition, the time we save by receiving the application via the online
service we can put towards processing the applications themselves. This is
particularly important as requests for criminal background checks almost doubled
between 2000 and 2004 and look to increase again in 2005," said Scott Geoffrey,
Director of Information Services, Kingston Police.
UNIS LUMIN's

Background Check system was developed using innovative technologies and
techniques to deliver a solution that provides the Kingston Police with a means
to positively impact their interactions with their public.
