The existence of a police record is one of the factors considered in establishing eligibility for enlistment or entry into highly sensitive career fields. Therefore, verification data from the individual and law enforcement agencies must be obtained before enlistment can occur. The form associated with this information collection is DD Form 369, ‘‘Police Record Check.’’ It is used by recruiters to inquire on applicants’ VerDate Sep<11>2014 23:58 Dec 27, 2024 Jkt 265001 backgrounds prior to acceptance to the Armed Forces, when, in the judgment of the recruiter, an applicant may be withholding information of prior offense history.
