Pre-Employment Screening

METROGUARD conducts extensive background checks on all personnel before they are hired. METROGUARD uses BCI (background check incorporated) to conduct all of the background checks on potential employees. The following is a list of all the Pre-employment screening measures that METROGUARD conducts.

• Previous Employment Verification
• Personal Reference Check
• Criminal Court History
• Civil Court History
• Motor Vehicle Report (for possible patrol car drivers)
• Workers Compensation Report
• Drug Testing (drug tests are conducted randomly throughout the year)

All of our officers are hand-picked and thoroughly screened in reference to character, attitude and personal discipline in order to ensure that our personnel are drug-free. However, if someone is thought to be involved in drugs, that individual will be subjected to drug testing and dealt with accordingly.
