Personal History Statement

Only applicants who submit complete personal history statements (via POBITS) will be invited to the background phase.

The personal history statement is very thorough and takes time to complete, so start early!  You will have 14 days to complete this process. Please note, incomplete applications will impede your ability to get to the next step.

Please read the instructions carefully, as it is critical that it is completed correctly and accurately. Omissions or untruthful information can get you disqualified. Remember, we are here to help! Contact us at any time during the process with questions.  

Portland Police Bureau background investigators provide tips on how to fully complete your personal history statement. http://www.joinportlandpolice.com
