The City of Glendale conducts an extensive background investigation of criminal history. A criminal conviction does not constitute an automatic bar to volunteer placement. Each case is considered individually and based on volunteer requirements. However, failure to answer truthfully may result in disqualification for volunteer placement with the City of Glendale. “Crime” as used in this section means any and all felonies, misdemeanors, and serious driving offenses. “Crime” does not include minor civil traffic offenses. If you are unsure how to answer this question, please ask for clarification.

“Convicted” means that you have been found guilty by a court or jury, pleaded guilty or no contest to a crime and/or have been sentenced for a crime, whether incarcerated, placed on probation, fined, or received a suspended sentence.

Have you ever been convicted of a crime, regardless of whether the conviction was later set aside or expunged, in any domestic, foreign or military court?*

YesNo

Are you pending charges, trial or other court proceedings for any crime, in any jurisdiction, at this time?*

YesNo

If you answered yes to either or both of these questions, please give details including the offense(s) for which you were convicted or are currently pending charges, date of conviction, and jurisdiction (court, city, county and state). If an offense has been set aside or expunged, please give date of action.
