In a recent nationwide survey by PRRN (The Public Record Retriever Network) taken nationwide, Steven Brownstein, the only background investigator west of Hawaii, found that 9% of all criminal background searches resulted in a record in Saipan.
Probably, you have seen Steven Brownstein's name pop up on the internet; his criminal record retrieval ads appearing on such Sites as the Saipan Tribune and the Marianas Variety.
"It's not rocket science or anything like that," admits Brownstein.
"But I have been at this more than 20 years."
"It (background checks) comes second nature to me."
Most of his previous experience has been in two of the largest metropolitan areas in the USA - Chicago and New York City.
But coming to work in Saipan is no let down, either.
Brownstein continues, "Convincingly enough, Saipan presents as much a challenge as the rest of the USA when it comes to getting the facts."
"A careful inspection of all criminal records and second guessing local Police Clearances takes a certain amount of skill."
An understanding of the CNMI (Saipan) judicial processs helps, too.
"There is never an area where I go to work," admits Brownstein, "that I don't begin by learning the Judiciary and their system."
Brownstein has been a member of NACM (National Association of Court Managers) for most of a decade and a half, and has served on the Membership Committee with past Alanta (Fulton County) Clerk of Court, Juanita Hicks.
"My experience with the Clerks of Courts has been tremendous in my continuing education and has provided a number of sources for quick record retrieval and turnaround."
"I can't say that I haven't used that to my advantage."
Many a television network and large metropolitan newspaper have used Brownstein on numerous occasions for information on a fast breaking story.
Coincidentally, Brownstein publishes a newspaper specifically for the background screening industry, http://www.thebackgroundinvestigator.com/
The Background Investigator has a circulation in the thousands and is used as a tool of reference by hundredes of pre-employment screening companies
.
Brownstein is also an investigative reporter and a member of IRE (Investigative Reporters and Editors).
"It pays to get the facts."
Concluding, Brownstein had this to say, "It doesn't surprise me that there is a 9% hit ratio (the percentage of criminal records found) in Saipan."
"But. what does surprise me is the number of young adults that move off island, not paying a traffic citation, and then having a warrant issued for their arrest."
"That does not look good on a resume."
