Our staff members are a key part of the public safety system; their integrity must be beyond reproach. Valley Com 911 conducts thorough, intense, and strict pre-employment background investigations on all applicants to determine suitability for any position. Generally, individuals who have demonstrated irresponsibility and/or poor judgment in their life choices are not hired. You may be disqualified from consideration for employment if you have recently used heroin, crack, methamphetamine, or several other illegal drugs, as this list is not all-inclusive. Failure to disclose pertinent information or attempt to conceal requested information will be grounds for disqualification. You are also unlikely to be hired if you have been convicted of a felony or have stolen money or goods from an employer (more than de minimis quantities of office supplies or copies). When looking at a candidate's past, we consider the frequency, how recent, and the circumstance. We don't require you to be perfect, but honesty is essential.

If you are not invited to continue the recruitment process after the psychological evaluation, you will not be allowed to reapply for the Communications Officer I/II in the future without written authorization from the Center and not before a two-year waiting period. However, you are allowed to apply for other positions within Valley Com 911 at any time.
As stated above, all candidates are required to successfully pass the testing and attendance requirements set by Valley Com 911.
