As part of the application process for consideration as a candidate for United States Park Police Officer positions, we collect information from applicants during the Pre-employment Suitability Determination Phase of the application process to narrow the list of potential candidates who are qualified to move to the next phase of the application process. The USPP application process consists of 6 phases: (1) Application via USAJobs.com; (2) Pre-employment Suitability Determination; (3) written examination; (4) oral interview; (5) physical and psychological evaluations; and (6) physical fitness and agility tests. Background clearances are not initiated until the candidate has successfully passed all six (6) phases of the USPP application process.
The net decrease in the responses, hours and cost burden is estimated based on the reduction in the average number of applicants received in the previous years.
