MultiExcerpt named V9012 Sex Offender Check was not found -- Please check the page name and MultiExcerpt name used in the MultiExcerpt-Include macro

If Enable Sex Offender Checks is checked in your Workstation Management settings, then automatic sex offender checks will continue every time a visitor or volunteer signs in; potential matches will continue to appear until they have been confirmed or rejected (i.e. recorded as either a match or a non-match) using the This is a Match or Not A Match buttons.

If no matching offender records are found, the Registered Sex Offender Matches dialog will not appear during visitor or volunteer Sign In and the Kiosk will proceed directly to the Select Activity step.

The Registered Sex Offender Matches dialog consists of two panels; the left shows the visitor or volunteer who is attempting to sign in and the right contains the records of potential sex offender matches.

You are required to examine all potential sex offender matches before proceeding.



Actual sex offender records are never saved or stored in KeepnTrack.


Clicking This is a Match or Not A Match will advance you to the next sex offender record. When you have examined the very last record, the sex offender check will be concluded.

  • This is a Match. If you're confident that your visitor or volunteer matches one of the records in your sex offender results, click this button. Any visitor or volunteer identified as a sex offender will be “remembered” (i.e. saved to the enrolled visitor's person record) when you conclude the sex offender check.
  • Not A Match. Click this button if you're absolutely sure that your visitor or volunteer does not match a specific sex offender record. Every record you determine to be a non-match will be excluded (for this person) from future sex-offender results.

If you would like to clear all previously saved offender results for your enrolled visitors and volunteers and initiate all-new offender checks in the future, use the Reset Offender Check selection, found in the People tab ⇒ Checks tab Actions menu.

After the last offender record has been examined or a match has been identified, some closing information and the following selection options will be presented:

What happens when you select “This is a Match”:

If the This is a Match button was used to indicate that one or more of the offender records matched your new or previously enrolled visitor or volunteer during a sex offender check, then the following dialog appears. Not only does it confirm that a matching offender record was identified, it gives you the ability to deny or allow them access to your facility based on that information.If you've positively identified the visitor or volunteer as being a sex offender using This is a Match, you are presented with the following choices:



  • Allow Once and Block. If selected, this visitor or volunteer will be permitted to enter the facility this time, but will be denied access on any other subsequent attempts by the visitor or volunteer.
  • Deny Access. If selected, the visitor or volunteer is not allowed to proceed with Sign In and is denied access to your facility. Furthermore, their Status is set to Access Denied. Information about the visitor or volunteer, including the operator who performed the sex offender check, the date and time it was performed, and the final decision made (e.g. denied) will be logged in Administration ⇒ People ⇒ History.
  • Sex Offender But Allow Access. If selected, even though the visitor or volunteer was positively identified as an offender, they will be granted access to your facility today and in the future; their Status is permanently set to Active. On future sex offender checks, all previously examined records (matched or non-matched) will be ignored; however, if a new potential sex offender record is discovered, the Registered Sex Offender Matches dialog will reappear.

What happens when you select “Not a Match”:

If the operator had determined the visitor or volunteer is not a sex offender, KeepnTrack will then proceed to the Activity selection menu.

  • XX offenders will be remembered as Not A Match. When a sex offender record is obviously not a match, clicking the Not A Match button will “remember” to not show this particular record again for the visitor or volunteer during future sex offender checks. This section tallies the number of non-matching sex offender results to be ignored in the future for this visitor or volunteer.

The Reset Offender Check option, found in the Actions menu of Manage ⇒ People, will clear all previously saved offender results for the selected visitor or volunteer and initiate a new offender check.If you're satisfied with the results of your sex offender check, then you can continue with the Sign In process.

The visitor and volunteer record is updated twice during the Sign In process:

  • After the potential sex offenders matches have been dealt with.
  • After an Activity has been selected, completing the Sign In process.

If a visitor or volunteer is positively identified as a sex offender, an alert notification can be automatically delivered to your account or facility emergency contact via email or text message. Also, COMPanion Corporation is notified via blank carbon copy every time there is a positively identified sex offender match so that we may contact your district authorities as we see fit to make sure all is well.

Information provided in the email includes the visitor's or volunteer's information, the determination made by the operator (i.e. denied or allowed), date and time stamp, operator information, operator notes, and facility location.

Here is an example of the email message:
