What if my criminal history background check doesn’t come by the application deadline?

The results are not due at the same time as the application. Background check results must be received by your interview location by the time of your interview, so please plan accordingly.

Applicants are solely responsible for sending the original application form, fingerprints, and payment for the background check to the FBI or FBI-approved channeler.

Early Placement applicants who do not have the results to the interview location by the time of their interview will be removed from Early Placement consideration but will be eligible for regular departure. Applicants with a criminal history who do not have results in time will be disqualified.
