It’s
Time to Compare… Hello,
Colleague.
Our newsletter is an on-going
service designed to continue to educate the business community to combat
the threats of negligent hiring, workplace violence, and other human
resource issues that arise in our business world today.
It’s been a
crazy few weeks! That being
said, below are some crazy criminal stories. We hope you take a moment, sit
back, and enjoy. Also, it’s
time to do your due diligence to protect your company, your staff, and/or
your personal life. In this
e-letter you will find cost comparisons between Argus and its competitors
for Social Security Number Verification and National Criminal
Searches. Be sure to know who
you’re really hiring; we can help.
Have a great Autumn!

What
not to say to a Police Officer: “Hey,
you must've been doing' about 125 mph to keep up with me! Good
job!” |
Three strikes and
you're out! A man in Fort Collins,
Colorado, robbed the same 7-Eleven store twice in one day. He told the clerk during the
second robbery that he'd be back in a few hours to rob it a third
time. Sure enough, he
returned a few hours later and was arrested by detectives still in the
store investigating the first and second robberies. |
R.C. Gaitlin, 21, walked up to two patrol officers who were showing their squad car computer equipment to children in a Detroit neighborhood. When he asked how the system worked, the officers asked him for a piece of identification. Gaitlin gave them his driver's license, they entered it into the computer, and moments later they arrested Gaitlin because information on the screen showed that Gaitlin was wanted for a two-year-old armed robbery in St. Louis, Missouri. A car in St. Louis hit a bus carrying five passengers,
but by the time police arrived on the scene, fourteen pedestrians had
boarded the bus and had begun to complain of whiplash injuries and back
pain. |

A motorist was
unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that measured his speed
using radar and photographed his car. He later received, in the mail, a
ticket for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he sent the
police department a photograph of $40. Several days later, he received a
letter from the police that contained another picture - of
handcuffs. |
