Two block, thanks for your response.  I thought I heard on the news that a recent firing of a Dallas police officer was sparking more thorough background checks.  I might be wrong, but I also thought I heard that the officer passed his preemployment poly, but failed one during a internal affairs investigation concerning alleged excessive force allegations.  He failed to mention on his application that he was a suspect in a homicide investigation, he was charged with domestic battery, and a separate charge of public intoxication.  All of these incidents never came to the attention of the background unit when processing his application. I am in Dallas almost weekly on business, therefore I hear or read about a police misconduct case nearly every time I am there.  I know it is a major concern in Dallas right now.
