The Revised Statutes of Missouri, Section 610.120 Records to be confidential, accessible to whom...permits the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department to consider the complete confidential history of any applicant to determine the best qualified candidates for the position of Cadet. This Section in pertinent part states “Records...shall be available only to courts, law enforcement agencies and federal agencies for purposes of...criminal justice employment...These Records shall be made
available for the above purposes regardless of any previous statutory provisions which had closed such
records to certain agencies or for certain purposes.”

Therefore, it is imperative that as an applicant, you list on both the application and background questionnaire all arrests, citations, traffic violation and tickets which you have received or been issued, whether or not that arrest, or summons resulted in a conviction. Failure to do so could result in the applicant being disqualified for further procession and/or employment by this Department.

I acknowledge that I have read and understand the above requirement concerning my criminal history
and arrest record. I understand that employment is contingent upon strict compliance.
