SELECTION PROCESS

To obtain your DMV history report you may visit any DMV location and request a ten year driving history, or you may submit a request online at www.dmv.ca.gov. The report must be dated within two months of the date of your application and show the current status of your driver's license.

Conviction History

If you receive a conditional job offer, you will be fingerprinted, and your fingerprints will be sent to the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The resulting report of your conviction history (if any) will be used to determine whether the nature of your conviction conflicts with the specific duties and responsibilities of the job for which you have received a conditional job offer. If a conflict exists, you will be asked to present any evidence of rehabilitation that may mitigate the conflict, except when federal or state regulations bar employment in specific circumstances.
