There is no one answer to your questions. It is commonplace for fire and police departments to retain information on applicants for years, and to share such information with other regional agencies. But each department may set its own data retention and information sharing policy.

In short, however, if you've recently had a polygraph with a fire or police department, there is a good chance that your information will be shared with other nearby departments with which you might seek employment.

Does an agency (Fire/Police Department) keep your PG information (If so how long) to provide to other hiring agencies you may be applying to?

Thank you.
