Background check??

[cssanders1986]

So i was recently disqualified from a sheriffs department background investigation and i was confused to how this had happened. I then found out that my previous job put my termination in their system as "Time Card Fraud" I was wondering if that was the reason i was disqualified and if so will i ever be able to apply again?? Thanks for all the advice

You said they put it in their system, was this something they made up, or did you actually do it?

Termination as in you were fired? Were you fired for falsifying your time card? That's pretty much the same as stealing from a cash register stealing a purse, so integrity issues are never a good thing when you are trying to become a Police Officer.

As to applying again, it will be up to the agency where you intially applied, but I doubt you'll be considered again. There are too many other more qualified applicants.

I'm just speculating here, but if you actually did falsify your time card, you may want to start being a little more honest with yourself. By saying they 'put it in the system' is different from admitting what you did. It looks as if you were trying to blame someone else.
