The Alaska F 3 form is a crucial document for individuals seeking to become APSC Certified Officers, a designation overseen by the Alaska Police Standards Council. This comprehensive Personal History Statement plays a pivotal role in the background investigation process, aiming to assess a candidate's suitability for the position. Applicants are urged to ensure they're working with the latest version of the form by visiting the APSC website, underlining the importance of adhering to current guidelines. It's imperative for every candidate to provide complete and accurate information in either blue or black ink if using a hardcopy, or via a typed document, avoiding the use of pencil to ensure clarity and permanence of the responses. Answering every question is mandatory, with a clear directive to mark 'N/A' for non-applicable queries and additional space provided at the end of the document for elaborate responses. The form highlights the few instances where prior misconduct may not automatically disqualify an applicant, emphasizing the significance of honesty in the application process. Moreover, it reassures applicants about the confidentiality and non-requirement of medical or disability-related disclosures in alignment with federal laws. Through meticulous completion and submission instructions, the form signifies a vital step towards achieving certification and a career in law enforcement within Alaska, underscoring the critical balance between comprehensive personal disclosure and privacy protections.

Document Example

Alaska Police Standards Council

PO Box 111200

Juneau, Alaska 99811

Instructions to the Applicant

The information you provide in this Personal History Statement will be used in the background investigation to assist in determining your suitability for the position of an APSC Certified Officer, in accordance with Alaska Police Standards Council (APSC) regulations.

Please confirm this version is the most current version by checking APSC website: https://dps.alaska.gov/APSC/Agency-Forms

It is your responsibility to complete this form and provide all required information.

If filling out hardcopy, please fill out form in blue or black ink or type as indicated by the agency. Do not use pencil.

You must respond to all items and questions. If a question does not apply to you, write “N/A” (not applicable) in the space provided for your response.

If you need more space for any response, use the last page of this form (page 27) and identify the additional information by the question number.

Send the completed form to your background investigator or the agency to which you are applying. Do NOT send the form to APSC.

Disqualification

There are very few automatic bases for rejection. Even issues of prior misconduct, such as prior illegal drug use, driving under the influence, theft, or even arrest or conviction are usually not, in and of themselves, automatically disqualifying. However, deliberate misstatements or omissions can and often will result in your application being rejected, regardless of the nature or reason for the misstatements/omissions. In fact, the number one reason individuals “fail” background investigations is because they deliberately withhold or misrepresent job-relevant information from their prospective employer.

BOTTOM LINE: You are responsible for providing complete, accurate, and truthful responses.

Disclosure of Medically-Related Information

In accordance with the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), applicants are not expected or required to reveal any medical or other disability-related information about themselves or their family members in response to questions on this form.

I have read and I understand the above instructions.

What You Should Know About This Form

What is the Alaska F 3 form used for?

The Alaska F 3 form, also known as the Personal History Statement, is utilized in the background investigation process to help determine an applicant's suitability for the position of an APSC Certified Officer. The information provided on this form is critical for assessing eligibility in accordance with Alaska Police Standards Council (APSC) regulations.

How can I obtain the most current version of the Alaska F 3 form?

To ensure you have the most up-to-date version of the Alaska F 3 form, it's advised to visit the APSC website at https://dps.alaska.gov/APSC/Agency-Forms. The website hosts the latest version of the form for applicants.

What should I use to fill out the Alaska F 3 form?

When filling out a hardcopy of the form, applicants are instructed to use blue or black ink or type their responses. Pencil should not be used to complete the form to ensure all information remains legible and permanent.

Are there any automatic disqualifications for becoming an APSC Certified Officer?

There are very few automatic reasons for rejection based on the information provided in the Alaska F 3 form. Prior misconduct, including illegal drug use, driving under the influence, theft, or arrest or conviction, are typically not automatic disqualifiers. However, deliberate misstatements or omissions in the application can lead to disqualification, irrespective of the nature of the omitted or misrepresented information.

What happens if a question on the Alaska F 3 form does not apply to me?

If you encounter a question on the Alaska F 3 form that does not apply to your situation, you should write “N/A” (not applicable) in the provided space for your response. This indicates that the question is not relevant to your personal history.

Is it necessary to disclose medically-related information on the Alaska F 3 form?

In accordance with the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), applicants are not expected or required to reveal any medical or disability-related information about themselves or their family members in response to questions on the Alaska F 3 form.

What should I do if I need more space for my responses?

If you require additional space for any response, the Alaska F 3 form instructions advise using the last page of the form (page 27) for extended answers. Make sure to identify the additional information by the question number to which it corresponds.

Where should I send the completed Alaska F 3 form?

The completed Alaska F 3 form should not be sent to the APSC. Instead, it must be sent to your background investigator or the agency to which you are applying. Ensure you have verified the correct recipient with the agency prior to sending your form.

What is the importance of providing complete and accurate information on the Alaska F 3 form?

Providing complete, accurate, and truthful responses on the Alaska F 3 form is critical. The primary reason applicants “fail” background investigations is due to deliberately withholding or misrepresenting job-relevant information. Such actions are likely to result in rejection of the application, highlighting the importance of honesty and thoroughness in completing the form.

Common mistakes

  1. One common mistake is not verifying that the version of the Alaska F 3 form being filled out is the most current. It is crucial to check the Alaska Police Standards Council (APSC) website for the latest version to ensure all provided information meets the most recent requirements and guidelines.

  2. Applicants often fail to use blue or black ink or type when filling out a hardcopy of the form. This can lead to processing delays and potentially impact the legibility of the information provided.

  3. Another error involves not responding to all items and questions. Leaving items blank instead of properly marking them as “N/A” (not applicable) when they do not apply leads to incomplete forms. Incomplete forms may not be processed until they are fully completed, delaying the application process.

  4. Failing to use the additional space provided on page 27 for extended responses is another common oversight. This space is intended for applicants who need more room to answer questions thoroughly. Not utilizing this space as directed can result in insufficient detail for the background investigation.

  5. Lastly, many applicants mistakenly send the completed form to the APSC directly, instead of to their background investigator or the agency to which they are applying. This results in a misdirection of their application materials, potentially leading to significant delays in the application process.

When completing the Alaska F 3 form, applicants should pay careful attention to each section and instruction to avoid these mistakes. Providing complete, accurate, and truthful responses is fundamental to a successful application for the position of an APSC Certified Officer.
