On Friday night, December 10, 2021, severe tornadoes hit six U.S. states, impacting Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee. Criminal and civil searches with external dependencies may experience delays across some counties in these states. The following county courts are currently experiencing closures: Graves, Marshall, and Warren Counties in Kentucky and Henderson County, Tennessee. Verifications with external dependencies may also experience delays. We are anticipating drug and health testing to also be impacted in some areas; Labcorp, Quest, and Vault Health are initially reporting no significant impact. eScreen reports some service disruption at their clinics in the impacted areas. It is recommended you contact testing sites in impacted areas to confirm hours of operation before visiting. Additionally, the severe weather has impacted specimen transit times due to flight delays. As a result of the tornadoes, please expect turnaround time delays for criminal searches, verifications, and drug and health testing.
We are closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as they become available.
