Medical records

[musculemania]

I was wondering if u apply for a federal LE position, with the Capital Police, Customs or Border, do they go and check all of your personal medical records from every doctor you have been to?

they might get those from background check.

anyhow just be honest to them!

good luck!

You are given a physical at the gov's expense. There you list with the contract doctor any diseases you have had including medical and disabilities/deformities/handicaps you might have including mental health. There is an eyesight requirement for Border Patrol though I don't remember what it is. Do they routinely check for mental things? I can't say. If you are receiving disability from the military, better list it. They will find out.

Judging by your comment, it appears you have a concern.
An investigator for the most part can only verify medical by:
1 Statements on other department backgrounds....polygraphs
2 Possibly check local hospital you live near..or did.
3 People he/she contacts during your background who might comment...

If you have a concern, ask/talk to a cop. Call the nearest police academy and ask what the P.O.S.T / health requirements are ...disqualifications etc.

A lot of people who embark on the process of becoming a police officer, commonly omit stupid stuff they never had to omit in the first place. And then they sometimes get the you-know-what.

PS- Of course your question is federal. But I think my comment is applicable and also helpful to others. Good luck!
