What will the background check cover?
The background check will gather the following information: • Verification of educational transcripts • Employment verification for any employment (going back no more than seven years) • Wisconsin Criminal History check • Local Police Records check • Past residence police records check • DOT records check We realize that $100 is a relatively high price to pay for the background check; however, the information gained is a critical part of the law enforcement hiring process. The results of a positive background check will tell potential employers that you are a viable candidate and may expedite the hiring process itself. We encourage those who are accepted in the academy to begin applying to agencies over the course of the program. This may result in your employment in law enforcement upon graduation from the academy. Current law enforcement openings across the state.
