- 1). Review the candidate's application for a background investigation thoroughly. Check for accuracy and errors. If errors or inconsistencies are identified, notify the candidate immediately.
- 2). Obtain a complete set of fingerprints from the candidate. The candidate must be fingerprinted at a state or federal law enforcement office. An authority, such as a county sheriff, state police officer or special agent must sign the fingerprint card for validation.
- 3). Send the completed investigation package including the fingerprints to the state police department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for processing. Both agencies will run the fingerprints through state and federal criminal databases to locate a criminal record or prove the candidate has no criminal record.
- 4). Notify the candidate regarding the outcome of the criminal background investigation. Candidates may be confidentially notified by mail if their background investigation did not clear them for employment.
