Background Investigations in Law Enforcement

Law enforcement professionals tasked with conducting background investigations of would-be officers play a vital, if often over-looked, role in the future of an agency. The department is only as good as its people and, therefore, the task of preventing unqualified applicants from falling through the cracks of the hiring process is as important as any aspect of a law enforcement agency’s operations.

The purpose of this webinar is to discuss:

• Best practices for background investigations in light of possible statutory limitations
• Recognizing and minimizing liability in the hiring process
• Creating consistent policies and procedures for background investigations
