Frequently Asked Questions

Click on a question below to see the answer.

Does our agency have to be a certain size to use Guardian?

Guardian’s business model is right for every size agency whether you have 4, 40, 400, or 4000 cops. Not only do we offer the Triage Center for free, you are only charged when you actually conduct an investigation. 

What if we don't hire that often?

No problem! Since you are only charged when you conduct an investigation and there are no monthly fees, you can simply use Guardian for your next hire and you will only be charged at that time.

We can't afford software
Investing in software isn't an expense, it's an investment in time which provides a positive ROI. Statistics show that software cuts background investigation hours by at least 50%. With hourly wages often exceeding $30, Guardian software quickly more than pays for itself by freeing up your officers for more critical tasks. Plus, it modernizes your agency's image, appealing to today's tech-savvy applicants. Lastly, it helps you build a digital database of applicants, providing valuable insights for your recruitment strategies. In short, you can't afford not to use Guardian.
Is the software complicated or difficult to use?

The software is very Intuitive and was built by cops for cops.  Users enjoy a dashboard online view complete with checklists, help guides, and easy to use tools to build forms or reports.

Does our IT team need to get involved with the process?

No, all you need is access to the internet using a Chrome browser.  Guardian’s platform resides on the AWS Secure Govcloud and can be accessed anywhere, anytime, and from any computer by all users and applicants. 

Are there annual storage costs?

No, the flat fee per background covers all your storage for that file in perpetuity.

Won't this be hard to change our entire process?

Our system will automate tasks and make your job easier.  We will reduce the turnaround time of the investigation, save you money, connect you with the National Applicant Information Center, and help reduce your liability.  We can get you up and running in a day or two with our highly intuitive system built by cops for cops.

“In a time of shrinking law enforcement budgets and personnel shortages, Guardian offers cost effective resources that streamline day to day functions. Their products are budget relieving and free up personnel for more pressing public safety functions.”
