Sundahl & Associates, Inc.
Sundahl & Associates currently has certified California P.O.S.T. (Peace Officer Standards & Training) background investigators on staff to meet your human resource needs. All law enforcement agencies are mandated by POST to meet specific due diligence requirements when selecting peace officers and dispatchers for employment. Although the government code is not as stringent as the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, public agencies are held to a high standard when selecting government employees for employment.
Our background investigators strictly adhere to California Government Code § 9053 (b). We investigate the following areas of an applicant’s behavior:
1. Integrity;
2. Impulse Control/Attention to Safety;
3. Substance Abuse and Other Risk-Taking Behavior;
4. Stress Tolerance;
5. Confronting and Overcoming Problems;
6. Obstacles, and Adversity;
7. Conscientiousness;
8. Interpersonal Skills;
9. Decision making and Judgment;
10. Learning Ability, and Communication Skills
Our POST background service is available to all law enforcement jurisdictions located in Southern California. In addition, we provide background investigations for all types of governments including railroad districts, water and power districts, fire department, code enforcement, college districts, special districts, all counties, cities, and state offices.
Why contract background investigation services out to Sundahl & Associates?
First, it's a misdemeanor to hire a non-licensed agency or investigator to perform contract background investigations. Because we're licensed by the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, we're able to perform POST Background Investigations.
Many law enforcement agencies are experiencing budget issues. Gone are the days when an agency is able to afford a full-time background investigator. More than before, administrators, sergeants, detectives, and patrol officers have collateral duties.
Performing a background investigation takes time away from the agency's primary law enforcement duties. Often times, the agency pays the investigator overtime. When an agency hires Sundahl & Associates, they actually save money and resources are directed to where it matters most--the law enforcement or public service mission.
Agencies save time and money by contracting with Sundahl & Associates because:
1. No overtime.
2. No worker's compensation premiums.
3. No insurance premiums.
4. No retirement.
5. No fuel or mileage costs.
6. No housing (out of area checks).
7. No wear and tear to city/county/government vehicles.
8. No overhead costs (electricity, gas, printing ink, paper etc...).
9. No manpower.
10. No one to pay hourly.
11. No one calling in sick.
If you consider all these items, it's easy to see how an agency can easily exceed $1,400 per background investigation.
