The County of Los Angeles Probation Department is issuing a Request for Information to identify qualified agencies capable of providing comprehensive pre-employment background investigation services for sworn and non-sworn personnel. The purpose of this RFI is to gather detailed insights into vendor capabilities, methodologies, and experience in conducting legally compliant and thorough background checks. These investigations are critical to ensuring candidates meet statutory requirements and are suitable for positions of public trust, particularly in law enforcement roles. The requested services include verification of employment, education, criminal history, and other relevant records, as well as conducting interviews and producing detailed investigative reports. The County is also interested in understanding vendors’ adherence to federal, state, and local regulations, including Fair Credit Reporting Act and Peace Officer Standards. This RFI is strictly for planning purposes and will inform potential future solicitations; it does not constitute a formal procurement or contract opportunity.
