Background Checks

With the overall goal of safety, The Henry County Parks and Recreation Department has taken a giant step in providing a safer environment for our customers. In doing so we have acquired a new background screening process by using NCSI which provides a national check giving a wider range of information nationally to make a more informed decision on allowing volunteers to serve our customers in any capacity. Although, the price has increased from $12 to $35; now our volunteers are covered for a background check over a two year span.  The increase in essence is only five dollars yielding a more proficient screening and further safety measures for our children and possibly vulnerable population.

Anyone requiring a background check to participate in Parks and Recreation programs now can complete an application online. Once you have received an approved email, you will then visit any Recreation Center to receive your coach’s badge for $5.00 during the following hours: Heritage Park is open Monday – Friday 8am – 5pm; Bear Creek, Fairview Recreation, Locust Grove Recreation and J. P. Moseley Recreation Centers are open Monday – Thursday 8am – 8pm and Friday 8am – 4pm.
