Safety Alert Patrol has partnered with Safe Hiring Solutions — one of America's most respected background screening companies — as our recommended vetting partner, so that every guardian in our network can be held to the highest possible standard of safety and trust.
Safe Hiring Solutions was founded by Mike McCarty, a former law enforcement detective who witnessed firsthand what happens when organizations fail to properly vet the people they trust with their most vulnerable. After watching a local school district unknowingly hire two registered sex offenders, Mike built Safe Hiring Solutions to make sure it never happened again.
Nearly 20 years later, Safe Hiring Solutions is one of America's most comprehensive background screening companies — serving schools, churches, hospitals, nonprofits and corporations across the country. The company reports clients including national organizations such as the Boys & Girls Clubs and Kiwanis International, and describes itself as the endorsed screening partner of Brotherhood Mutual Insurance.
Safe Hiring Solutions is headquartered just outside Indianapolis, Indiana, and operates in every continental U.S. state.
When Safety Alert Patrol set out to find a vetting partner, we had one non-negotiable: the company had to share our mission, not just our business model.
Safe Hiring Solutions isn't a checkbox operation. It was built by a former detective who cares deeply about protecting children — the same reason SAP exists. Their two primary verticals are schools and ministries, and their fastest-growing division, Ministry Defender Solutions, was created specifically to serve churches, nonprofits and faith-based organizations. That's not a coincidence. That's alignment.
SAP is the matching engine. Safe Hiring Solutions is the vetting engine. Together we form a complete guardian safety system — from discovery to deployment to verification.
Comprehensive criminal history checks including expanded criminal history, sex offender registry searches and multi-county screening. The most thorough background check available — not a $5 database query. Behind every check is a real human review process.
An SMS-based reference checking platform that contacts references directly and compiles responses instantly. Safe Hiring Solutions cites research finding that 80% of sex offenders have no criminal history — which makes reference checks one of the most important screening tools of all.
A visitor management system integrated to provide national background checks on your most frequent visitors, such as volunteers and vendors. When a visitor scans their driver's license at your school or church, SafeVisitor runs a sex offender registry check in real time.
A dedicated division serving churches, ministries, faith-based schools and camps. Safe Hiring Solutions describes Ministry Defender as its endorsed screening partnership with Brotherhood Mutual Insurance, serving some of the nation's largest church organizations.
A background check is a snapshot in time. Arrest Alert monitors continuously and notifies you if anything changes — so you always know the people protecting your community are still the right people.
Online safety and abuse prevention training for staff, volunteers and guardians. Equips your team with the knowledge to recognize and prevent threats before they happen.
