Online Personal History Statement (PHS) Provide an online Personal History Statement (PHS) form for your applicant, which captures hundreds of basic data points and can accommodate thousands of pieces of your applicant’s information.

Print a PHS in an incident style report and any departmental waivers for the applicant to provide an original signature and initials on each page. Automated Correspondence Automatically generate law enforcement correspondence based on applicant address data. Background Assistant™, using information from National Public Safety Information Bureau, producers of the Law Enforcement Directory, has embedded public safety address information in the application that automatically prints to correspondence documents. Automatically create law enforcement inquiry letters for prior residences, employment history, military service and other areas where the applicant has lived, worked or possibly had contact with a law enforcement agency, greatly enhancing the scope of your investigation. Choose to auto generate educational, employment, landlord, and character reference correspondence. All inquiry letters are preformatted and provide both a cover letter and questionnaire when applicable. Upload Returned Files Easily manage and organize correspondence as it is returned and as references, prior employers and family members are contacted, Background Assistant™ provides easy to use dialogue boxes to document information as it is gathered. Upload photos and documents received during the investigation for later access and digital archiving. Generate Final Report Background Assistant™ processes all of the information provided by the applicant in the PHS along with the comments made in the system by the background investigator and generates a final report, which is printable as a PDF file.
