Cook Illinois updates you don't want to miss: More terminals, reduced TAT

Historically in Cook County, Illinois, there just haven't been enough public access terminals for researchers to process criminal background checks in a timely manner. This has led to abnormally high turnaround times and higher costs (compared to other data) for CRAs and background screening companies that perform background checks in Cook.

Irini Lipi, Operations Manager of our North Central Market, joins me to follow up on a podcast InformData published back in May, "Less Reason to Panic When Conducting Criminal Background Checks in Cook County, Illinois".  In the previous podcast, it was announced that InformData worked with the local Cook County government to nearly double the number of terminals as part of its commitment to make people-data equitably accessible to all. At the time of the podcast in May, there were just 37 terminals available. 

In this episode, we discuss updates on the number of terminals that are now available in Cook IL, as well as an internal update on InformData's progress, including incredible turnaround time improvements.
