DCBS requires employment-related criminal background checks for all positions because of the job duties. Individuals offered employment for DCBS positions will complete a fingerprint-based criminal background check. Current DCBS employees being considered for new positions at DCBS will also complete a fingerprint-based criminal background check if they are considered for a promotion, transfer, voluntary demotion, or job rotation lasting longer than 10 days.
DCBS recruiting announcements include a statement that the position being recruited for is subject to a background check for any convictions directly related to its duties and responsibilities. Only job-related convictions will be considered and will not automatically disqualify the candidate.
