Background Check Policy

CA District 62 conducts annual background checks as required by Little League Baseball Inc.  Background checks are performed annually on volunteer managers, coaches, assistant coaches, umpires, and other volunteers who have repetitive contact with the players.

The Little League background checks are done through JDP under contract with Little League Baseball Inc. The background results include most state and federal criminal arrest records, and registered sex offender information.  JDP does not provide notification of subsequent arrest after the background check is completed, therefore background checks are completed annually.

District 62 also complies with California Business and Professions Code 18900.  District volunteers submit fingerprints to the
California Department of Justice via the Live Scan system.  In addition to the required DOJ submission, volunteer fingerprints are also submitted to the FBI national data base.  Once cleared via this system, the DOJ or FBI notifies District 62 of any subsequent arrest or conviction for the duration of the volunteer's service to District 62.

Pursuant to California State Law, Article 3 (commencing with Section 11100) of Chapter 1 of Title 1 of Part 4 of the Penal Code, criminal history information is used internally, and District 62 does not disclose confidential criminal history information to the public.
