On Sunday, August 29, 2021, Hurricane Ida made landfall, impacting the state of Louisiana. Criminal searches and verifications with external dependencies may experience delays as Louisiana courts are closed through Tuesday, August 31, 2021, and many Mississippi courts are closed through Wednesday, September 1, 2021. Drug and health testing has also been impacted, including laboratory operations at the Alere Toxicology facility in Gretna, Louisiana, and impacted specimens are being routed to another facility in Richmond, Virginia. As a result, 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. Thank you for your patience.
