Question Full Background Investigation

If seeking employment as a police dispatcher and while in the application process; can that agency require a Personal History Statement that includes questions and requirements such as; Marriage Certificate/Divorce Decree, Personal Automobile Insurance, Landlord's Name/Phone No., etc? The detail that is being requested is voluminous (40+ pages). The state is Texas.

This would seem to be overly intrusive given that this is a non-badged position. Why would my Landlord factor into a job application; for that matter, is it really anyone's business whether or not a marriage/divorce has occurred?

I would much prefer to submit this sort of information after a job offer had been made.

Your thoughts, please.

Lynn

Default Re: Full Background Investigation

For any position within the police dept, even a janitor, those kinds of inquiries normally are legal unfortunately.
