Complaint Investigation Report

In their required LIC508 Criminal Record Statement, dated 06-24-2022, S1 wrote they had no criminal history. According to facility records and interviews with 2 of 2 managers, S1 underwent the Live Scan fingerprint process, then successfully obtained a criminal record clearance on 07-18-2022. This is corroborated by review of official correspondence from both the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) and the California Department of Justice (DOJ) sent to the licensee. S1 was subsequently hired by licensee on 07-25-2022 and began working.

In connection with this complaint, LPA reviewed the LIS database on 09-02-2022. LPA confirmed that even as of that date, S1 had an “Active – Working” status, with no criminal history on file, and no administrative actions against them. S1 had a valid criminal record clearance and was also correctly associated to the facility’s roster.

Based on records and interviews, the allegation that licensee employed S1 without a valid criminal record clearance is unfounded, meaning it was false, could not have happened, and/or is without a reasonable basis. We have therefore dismissed the allegation. An exit interview was conducted with Long, to whom a copy of this report and the Licensee/Appeal Rights (LIC9058 01/16) were provided.
