About Us

Our Company was founded in 2005 by the late Jeff Schweig, a retired police officer who spent over 15 years serving his community, including five as a Sexual Assault Investigator. Recognized as a court expert in juvenile cases, Jeff built CLS on a simple but powerful idea: protecting our communities one fingerprint at a time. He believed in making background checks more accessible through efficient, affordable technology. His commitment to safety and service continues to guide everything we do.
We specialize in assisting all types and sizes of organizations or individuals in meeting the fingerprinting requirements for obtaining California Department of Justice (CA DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) background checks. CLS is here to help assist you and/or your organization in all aspects of the fingerprint process– from obtaining authorization approval from the CA DOJ, to providing walk-in Live Scan service centers, providing mobile on-site fingerprinting events, and providing fingerprint card conversion services.
We fully comply with all required legal, regulatory, and insurance standards for operating Live Scan fingerprinting services in California, as required per the California Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
