COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF AURORA CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK INFORMATION

For EMT and Paramedic (Phase I) Programs

A recent change in the standards of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organization (JCAHO) has resulted in a change to Community College of Aurora’s Educational Affiliation Agreements with clinical facilities throughout Colorado. The change requires that every student assigned to a clinical facility for the purpose of education and training must complete a criminal background check. Therefore, you will be required to complete a background check that will be evaluated for disqualifying factors. All background checks must be done through this CCA process even if you have previously had a background check completed by an employer or other agency. Logon to the Castlebranch website at http://cccs.castlebranch.com/. At this site you will find information on the process for obtaining and submitting your background check. Included with this information sheet, you will find documents, which include a list of disqualifying factors and release forms necessary for the college to process your background check. CCA will require that you submit originals of these release forms. Please note that two of the forms need to be notarized. A Notary is available in the EMS office. Your completed background check and drug screen will be pulled from the background check’s website by EMS Staff. The completed notarized CCA release forms are due at the EMS Office prior to the start of any EMT or Paramedic (Phase I) program. You may deliver the required information to EMS Program Administrative Staff in person or you may mail the required information to EMS Program Administrative Staff, 9235 E. 10th Drive, Room 117, Denver, CO 80230. You will not be able to progress to a clinical placement or internship without completed release forms and a completed background check that has been evaluated by the EMS Staff, and is on file at the college. Should your background check reveal any disqualifying factors, you will not be permitted to enroll or progress in the EMS Program. If this is the case you will be notified by the EMS Program.

COLORADO COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM (CCCS) DISQUALIFYING OFFENSES – EMS, FST, and Healthcare Programs

The Colorado Community College System (“CCCS”) and the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education authorize the EMS, FST, and Healthcare programs to conduct a background investigation of all student applicants. The clinical sites used in the EMS, FST, and Healthcare programs require background checks of all potential students. The purpose is to maintain a safe and productive educational and clinical environment. New students who refuse to comply with the background investigation will not be allowed to enter a CCCS EMS, FST, or Healthcare Program. An Applicant will be disqualified from a CCCS EMS, FST, or Healthcare program based on the following guidelines:

• Any violent felony convictions of homicide. (No time limit)

• Crimes of violence (assault, sexual offenses, arson, kidnapping, any crime against an at-risk adult or juvenile, etc.) as defined in section 18-1.3-406 C.R.S. in the 10 years immediately preceding the submittal of application.

• Any offense involving unlawful sexual behavior in the 10 years immediately preceding the submittal of application.

• Any crime, the underlying basis of which has been found by the court on the record to include an act of domestic violence, as defined in section 18-6-800.3 C.R.S. in the 7 years immediately preceding the submittal of application.

• Any crime of child abuse, as defined in section 18-6-401 C.R.S. in the 7 years immediately preceding the submittal of application.

• Any crime related to the sale, possession, distribution or transfer of narcotics or controlled substances in the 7 years immediately preceding the submittal of application.

• Any felony theft crimes in the 7 years immediately preceding the submittal of application.

• Any misdemeanor theft crimes in the 5 years immediately preceding the submittal of application.

• Any offense of sexual assault on a client by a psychotherapist, as defined in section 18-3-405.5 C.R.S. in the 7 years immediately preceding the submittal of application.

• Crimes of moral turpitude (prostitution, public lewdness/exposure, etc.) in the 7 years immediately preceding the submittal of application.

• Registered Sex Offenders. ( No time limit)

• Any offense in another state, the elements of which are substantially similar to the elements of any of the above offenses.

• More than one (1) D.U.I. in the 7 years immediately preceding the submittal of application.

If the investigation reveals information that could be relevant to the application, the designated ndividual responsible for background checks may request additional information from the applicant. The offense shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Students who have successfully completed the terms of a deferred adjudication agreement will not be disqualified. If any applicant feels the criminal background check is inaccurate, they may appeal the decision and request a review with the specific community college with whom they applied. It is the applicant’s burden to produce substantial evidence that proves the crimes charged are incorrect.

NREMT Criminal Conviction Policy

A. Background

The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) has adopted a Criminal Conviction

Policy to safeguard the public from individuals who, in practice as an EMS professional, might pose a

danger to the public.

EMS professionals, under the authority of their state licensure, have unsupervised, intimate, physical

and emotional contact with patients at a time of maximum physical and emotional vulnerability, as well

as unsupervised access to a patient’s personal property. These patients may be unable to defend or

protect themselves, voice objections to particular actions, or provide accurate accounts of events at a

later time. EMS professionals, therefore, are placed in a position of the highest public trust.

The public in need of out-of-hospital medical services relies on state licensure and national certification

to assure that those EMS professionals who respond to their calls for aid qualify for this extraordinary

trust. For these reasons, the NREMT has adopted the following Criminal Conviction Policy to ensure

that individuals, who have been convicted of certain crimes, are identified and appropriately evaluated

as to whether they would pose a risk to public safety as an EMS provider.

B. Policy

1. The NREMT may deny an applicant eligibility to sit for a certification examination, deny

certification, suspend or revoke an individual’s certification, or take other appropriate action with

respect to the applicant’s certification or recertification based on an applicant’s felony criminal

convictions and all other criminal convictions (whether felony or misdemeanor) relating to

crimes involving physical assault, use of a dangerous weapon, sexual abuse or assault, abuse of

children, the elderly or infirm and crimes against property, including robbery, burglary and

felony theft.

2. All applicants for certification or recertification must disclose any criminal conviction as

required on an application.

3. This policy applies to an applicant’s plea of nolo contendre, a guilty plea, or plea agreement, as

well as a conviction after trial.

4. Applicants are not required to disclose any criminal conviction that has been expunged from the

public record or a deferred adjudication that did not result in the entry of a conviction judgment.

5. Failure to disclose a covered criminal conviction or the withholding of any material information

regarding such conviction shall be an independent basis for denial of eligibility to sit for a

certification examination, revocation of a certification or denial of an application for

recertification.

6. NREMT shall post on its website an applicant’s disclosure of any criminal conviction requiring

disclosure under this policy and advise licensing authorities of the availability of this

information.

7. NREMT may deny an applicant eligibility to sit for the certification examination, or take other

appropriate action, if the applicable state licensing authority, in any state in which the applicant

Page 13: EMT Essential Information EMT Basic Certificate

9/9/2020 X:\Advising Information\EMS Information Packets\EMS Packet Masters\CCA Background Check Release-.doc

holds or seeks a license as an EMS professional, denies the applicant’s eligibility to obtain, or

suspends or revokes, a license, based on a criminal conviction.

8. Notwithstanding the absence of any adverse action taken by an applicable state licensing

authority on the basis of an applicant’s criminal conviction, NREMT may deny an applicant

eligibility to sit for a certification examination or recertification if, in the NREMT’s sole

discretion, based on the following considerations, the NREMT determines that certification may

jeopardize public health and safety:

a. The seriousness of the crime.

b. Whether the crime relates to performance of the duties of an EMS professional.

c. How much time has elapsed since the crime was committed.

d. Whether the crime involved violence to, or abuse of, another person.

e. Whether the crime involved a minor or a person of diminished capacity.

f. Whether the applicant's actions and conduct since the crime occurred are consistent with

the holding of a position of public trust.

g. Whether the applicant is a repeat offender.

h. Whether the applicant has complied with all court orders and probationary requirements

associated with the conviction.

Any applicant or registrant subject to an adverse decision by the NREMT under this Policy may

appeal that decision as outlined in the NREMT Certification Eligibility, Discipline and Appeals

Policy.

Community College of Aurora EMS Program

Informed Consent

Must submit original to Community College of Aurora, EMS Program The EMS Program curriculum criteria and academic standards for course credit and program achievement require students enrolled in the EMS Program to undergo training at clinical sites. A critical element of determining a student’s suitability for participation in the program as well as assignment at one or more clinical sites during the course of his or her program is to determine that the student does not have a criminal record of drug-related and/or other felonies that might place the clinical site in jeopardy by the placement of an unsuitable student at their institution. The Community College of Aurora is required to declare to the hosting institution the suitability of every student assigned to that institution. Therefore, all EMS students must undergo a criminal record check as a term and condition of their enrollment in the College’s EMS Program. Any and all costs associated with the aforementioned criminal record check will be borne by EMS Program students. Further, all fees paid for criminal record checks are non-refundable. Prior criminal record checks results will not be accepted. The results of the aforementioned criminal records check will only be released by the relevant consumer reporting agency and healthcare provider to the Department Chair and Program Assistant of the EMS Program. This information will be maintained in a separate file from the student’s academic record. Access to this file will be governed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
