Boston reviews hiring policy amid questions about criminal background checks
['Munashe Kwangwari']
Local – NBC Boston
There are new calls for Boston City Hall to take a close look at its hiring policies, specifically when it comes to background checks -- after issues with two city workers involving criminal records.
The main question is whether the city should conduct a criminal background check for every single person it hires.
"So generally, those are the two kinds of high level categories that might determine whether or not we run a criminal background check."
The Globe reported that this person was fired after the Boston Herald published a story on their background.
Lawrence said that they will be closely examining the city's job descriptions to make sure someone with a serious criminal record does not work with the public in any capacity.
