About Course

One of the most difficult parts of being hired to work for a law enforcement agency is passing the police background check.  Even if you have passed the background investigation for one agency, this does not mean you will pass for another.  During this one hour course, our background experts inform you about the police background check process.

With this course, you’ll maximize your chances of passing the background check. You’ll learn what what to expect for each step of the background process, what background investigators are looking for, who you should choose for your references, and what to expect from the polygraph test.  You’ll also find out how closely background investigators look at your social media accounts, and whether or not you need to provide them with access.  Finally, learn what you should do if you did not pass so you can next time.

Our experts will give you all of the inside details that go into making the decision about who gets selected for the next steps in the hiring process and who does not. Don’t miss out on the career of your dreams by making a preventable mistake. Learn about what you should do now!
