PERSONAL HISTORY STATEMENT Peace Officer
POST 2-251 (Rev 02/2018)
Page 1 of 25
Instructions to the Applicant
The information you provide in this Personal History Statement will be used in the background investigation to assist
in determining your suitability for the position of California Peace Officer, in accordance with POST Commission
Regulation 1953.
It is your responsibility to complete this form and provide all required information.
Following instructions given by the hiring department, type or neatly print in black ink.
You must respond to all items and questions. If a question does not apply to you, write “N/A” (not applicable) in the
space provided for your response.
If you need more space for any response, use the supplemental information page on the last page of this form
(page 25) and identify the additional information by the question number.
Following instructions given by the hiring department, provide the completed form to your background investigator
or the agency to which you are applying. Do NOT send the form to POST.
Disqualification
There are very few automatic bases for rejection. Even issues of prior misconduct, such as prior illegal drug use,
driving under the influence, theft, or even arrest or conviction are usually not, in and of themselves, automatically
disqualifying. However, deliberate misstatements or omissions can and often will result in your application being
rejected, regardless of the nature or reason for the misstatements/omissions. In fact, the number one reason
individuals “fail” background investigations is because they deliberately withhold or misrepresent job-relevant
information from their prospective employer.
BOTTOM LINE: You are responsible for providing complete, accurate, and truthful responses.
Disclosure of Medically-Related Information
In accordance with the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act
(GINA), and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, applicants are not expected or required to reveal
any medical or other disability-related information about themselves or their family members in response to
questions on this form.
I have read and I understand the above instructions.
