The regulation states that “the POST Background Investigation Dimensions shall be considered in the conduct of every peace officer background investigation?” What exactly does “considered” mean?
A.The dimensions are intended to serve as points of focus for the background investigation itself, as well as for issues to be considered when preparing the narrative report. However, it is not necessary for each background report to include a separate evaluation of the candidate on each of the ten dimensions.
