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 at another. Our training course 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. Learn from personnel sergeants who have passed and failed hundreds. You could be sabotaging yourself without even realizing it, costing you the career of your dreams. You can't afford to miss this course.
