COMMISSION ON PEACE OFFICER STANDARDS AND TRAINING
THE PERSONAL HISTORY INVESTIGATION
In compliance with Section 1002 a) 5) of the Commission Rules
and Regulations a personal history investigation covering the fol-
lowing specifications must be conducted of each recruit employed
pursuant to Chapter 1 of Title 4, Part 4 of the California Penal
Code.
The purpose of the personal history investigation is to find exam-
ples of any character traits in the applicant's life which might
prevent his becoming a successful peace officer. The investiga-
tion should be conducted by an experienced investigator and the
results should be evaluated by the department head and/or hiring
authority to determine whether the applicant should be employed.
The first step in the investigation is the completion by the appli-
cant of a detailed personal history statement upon which the in-
vestigation will be based. The investigation should be strictly
confidential and the last step should bean interview with the pres-
ent employer following permission by the applicant. If the ap-
plicant lives, or has lived, in a distant community, a letter should
be sent to the local law enforcement agency requesting that an in-
vestigation be conducted.
Some of the things to look for in the investigation are: Does he
have an uncontrollable temper? Is he unable to stay away from
alcoholic drink when things go wrong? Does he go to pieces"
when confronted by danger? These and other similar character-
istics may be revealed only through the personal history investi-
gation. Names of the spouse and close relatives should be checked
through appropriate files to determine whether they have criminal
records, are in prison or may be in any status or position which
might adversely affect the applicant's obligations as a peace officer.
When reviewing the results of the investigation, it should be re-
membered that what has happened in the past generally will happen
in the future.
ORD 171ê79wV ×P è
2.
The investigation should include a check of as many of the follow-
ing sources as possible:
l. Military records from the service of the United States or
jurisdictions therein.
2. Documents, including driver's license, high school diplomas
or other suitable record of graduation.
3. All local police files.
4. Police files in all cities where the person has lived or worked.
5. State Criminal records.
6. F. B. I. records.
7. State department granting drivers licenses.
8. Previous employers.
9. All schools attended.
10. References and relatives.
11. Present and past neighbors and landlords.
12. Fraternal and social organizations.
13. Any other source which previous contacts show to be important.
