Flagger Force partners with legal tech firm to clear criminal records

Flagger Force partners with legal tech firm to clear criminal records. To help employees clear their criminal records, Flagger Force is partnering with Rasa Legal to provide confidential record-clearance services. A short-term traffic control company based in Central Pennsylvania with operations across the eastern third of the United States, Flagger Force has instituted a new workforce development program that will provide eligible employees with confidential access to record-clearance services through Rasa Legal, a legal technology company that works to make criminal record clearance simple and affordable. Flagger Force is headquartered in Hummelstown. According to a release, the program will launch in Pennsylvania and expand across Flagger Force's operational footprint as Rasa grows its services in other states. "Since founding Flagger Force in 2002, I have been committed to building a workplace where opportunities are driven by ability and potential," Flagger Force President and CEO Mike Doner said in a statement. "By removing barriers and bias from our hiring practices and focusing on candidates' capabilities instead of their pasts, Flagger Force creates pathways for meaningful career growth. "This new program, and our partnership with Rasa, underscore Flagger Force's commitment to fair-chance hiring, workforce development, and empowering our employees to succeed." One in three people in Pennsylvania has a criminal record, per the release. In low-income, high-arrest, and heavily minority communities, the rate increases to nearly 60%, per Rasa. Through innovative technology, Rasa will offer eligible Flagger Force employees record sealing and expungement services, enabling individuals to remove barriers to career advancement, wage growth, and long-term economic mobility. Flagger Force is the first and only company in Pennsylvania so far to implement this type of program in collaboration with Rasa. "We are thrilled to have Flagger Force as our first Pennsylvania employer partner to offer our services as a benefit to all its employees," said Rasa Legal Founder/CEO Noella Sudbury. "The success of fair-chance hiring hinges on leaders who see the immense value in our justice-impacted workforce. This decision shows their deep commitment to second chances and investment in a person's potential." To qualify for the program, Flagger Force employees must be employed for at least 30 days, complete designated safety training requirements, have good attendance, and strong performance reviews, per the release. The program is currently available to employees with Pennsylvania criminal records. As Rasa continues to expand its services to new states where Flagger Force operates, the company plans to grow the program and help more employees clear their records. The program is financially supported by the Michael P. Doner Family Fund in partnership with Flagger Force. "Since announcing this program internally, we have already seen strong interest from our employees, reinforcing the need for meaningful resources that help justice-involved individuals grow professionally and personally without the undue scrutiny they often face," said Doner. "We look forward to working alongside the entire Rasa team in Pennsylvania and beyond to raise critical awareness of the benefits of fair-chance hiring and to help create more inclusive employment opportunities across the communities we serve."
