1. In connection with my application for placement, I understand that an investigative report will be required that will include information as to my character, work habits, performance and experience, along with reasons for disciplinary action or termination or past employment. I understand that as directed by policy and consistent with the position described, you may be requesting information from public and private sources about my criminal record, driving record, education and previous employment.

3. I hereby authorize, without reservation, my law enforcement agency, court, institution, information service bureau, school, employer, or other organization or person contacted by the First Baptist Church of Palmetto, Inc., or its agent to furnish the information in the attached requested.
4. Furthermore, I, do, for myself, my heirs, executors and administrators, hereby remise, release and forever discharge and agree to indemnify First Baptist Church of Palmetto, Inc. and each of their officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all causes of actions, suits, liabilities, costs, debts and sums of money, claims and demands, whatsoever and any and all related attorney's fees, court costs, and other expenses resulting from the investigation of my background in connection with my application to become an employee or volunteer.
