Pre-Employment Background Investigation
Description
Pre-Employment Background Investigations used for the Chief Executive Officer of a Law Enforcement Agency (or any company for that matter) to make the choice to gamble on hiring a particular individual. The more critical, sensitive in nature, or the more autonomously the employee will be expected to work, the more the need for a complete, accurate and in depth background investigation to be.
During this period of instruction you will be presented with a variety of information. This course is not designed to teach you step by step how to do background investigations, nor is this course designed to dictate the policy of any agency. Quite the contrary, this course is designed as a means in assisting you and your agencies develop a comprehensive policy and procedure as it relates to pre-employment background investigations, present you the student with various scenarios, events, circumstances and through this presentation you will develop a rough checklist to return to your agency and begin working out what works best for you.
As I begin every class I wish to pass on to you these words for the classroom “If the Student failed to learn, the Teacher failed to Teach”.
The goals of this course of instruction will be:
- Importance of the Pre-Employment Background Investigation
- What may or may not be asked during an investigation
- Federal laws relating to employment of the handicapped
- Various resources that may be used during the course of an investigation
- Pre-Employment interview techniques
- Various tests that can be used in background investigations
