Background Checks

Studies show that up to 40% of police and fire candidates have engaged in past misconduct that, if known, would disqualify them from consideration for employment. This information often cannot be detected with traditional background investigations and screening procedures. Perea, Inc. has done hundreds of candidate screenings for numerous Colorado police and fire agencies. Our candidate screenings are designed by former law enforcement investigators who understand the responsibility of hiring, promoting and selecting personnel for special assignments and transfers. Our background process has proven itself successful.  We employ interviewing techniques and research strategies that will make your selection of new employees easier, more efficient and less costly.

Quality information yields a quality candidate.

Perea, Inc. investigators will help uncover discrepancies in the applicant’s past, and we can create a program of checks specific to your agency whenever needed. Our candidate screenings may include: 

• Complete job histories

• Credit histories

• Verifications of references

• Interviews of family and friends

• Neighborhood canvases

• Media searches

• Verifications of professional education, professional titles and credentials.

We personally speak to each reference listed by your candidate and make it our goal to find information not provided on a candidate’s application, resulting in a more accurate report. You will be provided with a summary in writing as well as a briefing by telephone, if desired.

If needed, we can provide your applicants with paperwork that meets the standards set forth by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Perea, Inc. Investigative Consultants will be happy to provide your agency with references upon request.
