Rapback

What is the Rapback system?

• The Rapback program began in 2007 with the passage of Ohio Senate Bill 97. The intent of the program is to protect Ohioans by providing additional safeguards against allowing convicted criminals to remain in positions of trust (e.g., school teachers, foster parents).
• For enrolled individuals, the Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation stores fingerprints captured as part of the employment screening process in a separate retained applicant fingerprint database. These prints are searched against all new criminal prints and prints submitted to BCI as part of a court disposition process. When a match is found, BCI provides rap sheet information back (“rap-back”) to the Department.
• From Rapback, the Department provides notifications about criminal arrests or convictions of licensed educators and pupil transportation drivers to the school districts where they are employed. The Department also determines whether the arrest or conviction affects the educator’s licensure status.

ARCS

The Automated Registry Check System (ARCS) is an effective, time-saving tool for home and community based providers to conduct pre- and post-hiring checks of employees in six required registries. County Boards and provider agencies are required to check six different registries when conducting pre- and post-hiring registry checks of employees. Instead of searching six different websites, we now can check all six registries at once by using the Automated Registry Check System (ARCS). ARCS checks the following registries:

1. Excluded Parties List System (U.S. General Services Administration)
2. List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (U.S. Office of Inspector General)
3. Ohio Sex Offender and Child Victim Database (Ohio Attorney General's Office)
4. DODD Abuser Registry Verification (Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities)
5. Ohio Nurse Aide Registry (Ohio Department of Health)
6. ODRC Inmates Database (Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction)
