What is the purpose of the background investigation?
The general public expects Public Safety employees to be of good character and reputation, fit to serve their needs. To facilitate this public demand and the requirements of law, a confirmation of certain personal and work related information is accomplished for each applicant. This investigation is not intended to discover derogatory information about the applicant, but to confirm the applicant’s suitability for the job. Data is gathered from various automated information sources as well as personal interviews with references.
