15. Background Review Update Lori Buchanan

16. Background Disclosures Emphasize to all applicants that they must accurately answer ALL background disclosure questions

17. Background Disclosures If they answer “YES” to any question, they must provide: 1—a detailed narrative which describes the circumstances which led to the incident/arrest 2—court documentation and/or personnel documentation

18. The Background Review Process For applications with a background disclosure: Once the narrative and court and/or personnel documentation is received it is review by John Morrison, our investigator, and myself. Once reviewed, we either clear it to be processed, refer it to our Background Review Team, or deny it. If the applicant is cleared, the form can be processed by the coordinator.

19. The Background Review Process If referred to the Background Review Team, it stays pending until a meeting is scheduled. Background Review Team Meetings are typically held on a monthly basis but can take longer. At the Background Review Team meeting, the application can be cleared to be processed, more information can be requested, or it can be denied.

20. The Background Review Process This process can take from a week up to several months. If the required narrative and documentation are not submitted with the application and/or the person doesn’t disclose their background, the process can be significantly delayed. Once an applicant has disclosed something in this section, he/she must continue to disclose on every application made to our office.

21. Form 23 & 24 It is extremely important that background disclosures are reported accurately and the supporting documentation is provided at the time of the application to avoid any delays in processing time, especially with Form 23, 24, other permits, and temporary authorizations.
