SDTMA Conditional Job Offer Question

[Heather Hutchinson]

All,

We currently extend a CJO when the background investigation is complete and after the Captain's Interview.  Are there any agencies that extend a CJO much earlier in the hiring process as permitted through Government Code 1031.2.

Bulletin 2008-22 - AB2028 (ca.gov)<https://post.ca.gov/Data/Sites/1/post_docs/bulletin/2008-22-AB2028.pdf>

"Government Code 1031.2 is a permissive law. Agencies are free to conduct the entire background investigation pre-offer if they chose. However, the intent of AB 2028 was to help improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the peace officer hiring process by removing unnecessary restrictions associated with the thorough evaluation of candidate suitability."

Hoping to streamline our hiring process and wondered how other agencies are handling this.

Thanks for any input you can provide!!
