At this time, JL Group is sufficiently staffed to perform sworn and civilian personnel background investigations, concurrently. The firm’s investigators each possess a current State of California Private Investigator License (as specified in California Business and Professions Code §7521) and a valid California Class “C” or higher driver’s license.
JL Group will comply with all applicable Federal, State and County policies, rules, regulations, laws and codes, including without limitation the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (15.U.S.C. §1681, et seq.) (FCRA) and the California Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act (California Civil Code §1786, et seq.) (CCRA).
JL Group’s Proposed Project Approach
On behalf of the City of Gardena, JL Group, will conduct comprehensive pre-employment background investigations of potential candidates for sworn and non-sworn entry level and lateral Public Safety positions with the Gardena Police Department.1 The process and methodology to be undertaken by JLGROUP personnel in investigating the background of each candidate/applicant will include the following:
The JL Group investigator assigned to an applicant will conduct the background process from inception to conclusion so as to maintain continuity and to provide a single resource contact for all aspects of that applicant’s history.
The JL Group investigator will make contact with applicant to answer questions and schedule an interview meeting with applicant and obtain required documents , including applicant’s Peace Officer Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) Personal History Statement and/or P.O.S.T.
Background Consent Waiver documents.
Upon JL Group’s receipt and review of a candidate’s required documents, the background check process for that applicant will commence. Once that process is completed, JL Group personnel will prepare and provide a detailed narrative-based summary of all findings and reports of that applicant’s background and eligibility in accordance with the City of Gardena’s hiring standards.
A summary report of findings for each applicant investigated by the JL Group, shall at least address the following areas:
1) Review of candidate’s P.O.S.T. Personal History Statement.
1 Each pre-employment background investigation shall be conducted c onsistent with the guidelines set forth in California Government Code §1031; California Penal Code §13510(c); Peace Officer Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) Regulation 1953 for Sworn Po lice Officers; Peace Officer Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) Regulation 1959 for Police Dispatchers; and California Civil Code §§ 1786, et seq.
