You can customize the Special Alert Notification so it only reports the components you want to see, eg., criminal hits, employment discrepancies, education discrepancies, MVR violations, etc.
As we are working on your report, if we find any negative information or a discrepancy we email you a Special Alert Notification. It is a “heads up” that there is information you may want to check in IRAS for the details.
