Personal History Statement (PHS) Preparation
The Personal History Statement (PHS) is one of the most important parts of the public safety hiring process. Information provided in the PHS is closely reviewed by background investigators and compared against interviews, records checks, reference information, social media activity, employment history, and polygraph examinations.
Many applicants are disqualified for issues involving incomplete information, inconsistent answers, poor preparation, omissions, or misunderstandings about disclosure requirements.

A properly prepared PHS can help applicants avoid unnecessary delays, confusion, and credibility concerns during the background investigation process.
Preparation matters before you submit your application.
