Whose money?  are you being paid? nopolycop You wrote Quote: I am not convinced the employment application is to be used in the selection process I maintain that if the content of the application is used to reject any applicants or to separate "qualified applicants" from "unqualified applicants" that it is part of the selection process. The conclusion to be reached that since the accuracy and efficiency of this part of the selection process is based solely on the unverified and unchallenged truth of the applicant then the application in and of itself has little value as a sole determining factor of an applicant's suitability for employment as a police officer. It doesn't really matter whether or not the application includes what you refer to as a Personal History Questionairre because even if it does, depending on the answers to those questions, rejection can occur even if the responses are unverified.

Regarding money, I am not being paid to type here, although I suspect many people who post here are on the clock somewhere.  But, that is not the point.  I work for myself, and I wasn't doing this, I could be doing something that was paying.  I entered this whole discussion as a subject that interests me.

In any event, I don't have any problems with your assessment of the employment application, so why don't we move on?
