Association Announces Background Check Program

The New York State Legislature continues to consider measures to require training and background checks for all establishment security personnel. We’ve established a partnership agreement with Castle Branch in an effort to make compliance with a background check requirement as easy as possible and to provide you with the ability to weed out inappropriate employees and ERSTA members will receive a substantial discount off Castle Branch's regular prices.

Castle Branch is a comprehensive background check company. It has the ability to research criminal, sex offender, social security, and other information throughout the United States and in many foreign countries. Orders are easy to place and results are e-mailed to you.

We believe it is important for our members to take the initiative in creating a safe environment for their patrons. A significant step in accomplishing this is an effective background check on all security personnel. This simple, affordable measure will demonstrate our commitment to provide the secure establishments our customers deserve.

To inaugurate this new benefit, Castle Branch is offering your first background check free. Just call Ken Jernigan at 888-723-4263, extension 7178 and identify yourself as a member of ESRTA. Or, you can email him at kjerni@castlebranch.com. This offer expires December 15, 2006 so act fast to take advantage of this special promotion.
