Budget estimate

$50,000 – $150,000

Based on typical municipal contracts for background screening, a mid‑size city like Charleston usually allocates between $50 k and $150 k annually for such services, depending on volume of hires and depth of checks. The estimate accounts for per‑check fees (≈$30–$70 each) multiplied by an expected 1,000–2,000 new hires per year, plus project management and reporting overhead.
