R1 228G Background Investigations for Police Applicants- Hayden

March 9-10 2026, 8:00am-5:00pm

Credit hours: 12
Course Number: R1 228G

Description:

This course is designed for both background investigators, supervisors and human resource policy makers.

Law enforcement strives for professionalism; however, abuses by officers cast a negative light on entire organization. An examination of the past behavior of some involved officers reveals that a pattern of undesirable behavior existed prior to appointment as a police official. This behavior was unknown to the hiring agency due to inadequate or non-existent applicant screening. The integrity and ethical reputation of a police department mandates a thorough background investigation of police applicants. This course offers a systematic approach to background investigations which will assist in making informed hiring decisions.

In this course, you will learn about:
• Analysis Techniques
• Federal Requirements
• Military Records
• Fraudulent Documents
• Legal Issues
• Background Report
• Building a Life History
• Verification Techniques
• Documentation Criteria
• References
• Social Networking Laws
• Minimum Standards
