I'm up for a background check and I was wondering if there is a difference in how background checks are conducted for police applicants vs. fire applicants? My uncle in law enforcement told me that the background investigators spare no expense at finding out everything from your high school grades, credit history, taxes, relationship with family members, friends, teachers, and of course criminal history. He also told me that the standard is pretty tough. Because of the nature of the job (law enforcement in his case), little things could result in DQ.
Is this also the case for fire departments? And if so, are the background investigators as strict with fire applicants as they are with police applicants?
