Needs and Uses: This information collection is essential to the
Pentagon Force Protection Agency and is used to make a determination of
eligibility for federal employment in the field of law enforcement. To
that end, criminal, background and medical information is collected on
the applicants. There are four respondent populations for this
collection. Applicants are the first population--they are certified by
USAJOBS for law enforcement positions in PFPA. The medical, background,
and criminal history information that they are providing is necessary
in order to ensure their eligibility for the position. The second
population is current/former supervisors who act as references for the
applicants. The third population is character references. The fourth
population is other law enforcement agencies that these applicants have
applied to.
All of this information is filled out over six PFPA forms. The
information collected from these forms is stored in Salesforce. The
Salesforce system is not the point of entry for any of these forms.
(1) Authorization for Release of Information--PFPA Form 1400
(applicant): This form is sent from a PFPA employee to the applicant
via email. The form gives PFPA permission to begin the background/
evaluation process. This form must be printed and signed in ink then
uploaded by the applicant to Salesforce. This form is then reviewed and
processed by a PFPA employee.
(2) Supplemental History Questionnaire--PFPA Form 6040 (applicant):
This form is also completed
[[Page 27036]]
by applicant. It is sent to the applicants via email and returned via
Salesforce. This form is then sent to a PFPA medical review officer to
make a final determination on whether an applicant meets the necessary
health requirements. The PFPA Form 6040 is administered after the
applicant accepts a tentative job offer. This form also must be printed
and signed in ink then uploaded by the applicant to Salesforce.
(3) Internal Affairs Request--PFPA Form 1407 (former and current
supervisors): This information is important to ensure an applicant does
not have any past professional issues. Recruiters gather information
for this form via phone or email from former/current supervisors. The
information is then entered into Salesforce.
(4) Employer Reference Questionnaire--PFPA Form 1410 (former and
current supervisors): This form is also filled out by recruiters based
on information obtained from applicant's current/former supervisors.
The answers to the questions are obtained via phone or email. The
information is then entered into Salesforce.
(5) Application Status Request--PFPA Form 1408 (other law
enforcement agencies): This form is sent to other law enforcement
agencies that the PFPA applicants have applied to via email. These law
enforcement agencies fill out the forms and respond back via email or
fax. These forms are then reviewed and processed by a PFPA employee.
(6) Character Reference Questionnaire--PFPA Form 1409 (references):
This form is filled out by recruiters based on information obtained
from applicant's character references. The answers to the questions are
obtained via phone or email. These forms are then reviewed and
processed by a PFPA employee. The questions on this form are not asked
of the applicant, but of the applicant's Character References. These
phone and email scripts will be included with this package.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
DOD Clearance Officer: Mr. Reginald Lucas.
