Must successfully complete all components of the USCP full field background investigation. There are few automatic grounds for rejection in the USCP background investigation process.

The primary reason candidates fail a background investigation is due to deliberately withholding or omitting material facts. Providing false and/or misleading information may be grounds for removal from the application and selection process.
