Police and fire background investigation record retention
Upper Arlington

How long should the city keep detailed screening files — psychological evaluations, polygraph results — on police and fire job candidates? There are privacy, liability, and public-records concerns on one side, and defensibility of hiring decisions on the other. A recommendation will come back to the commission later.
