    Fingerprinting & Background Check Services

    Security Services conducts preliminary background checks, fingerprinting, and issuing of ID Cards for PPS employees, contractors, interns, and student teachers.
     

    For the health and safety of our employees, the BESC main administration building remains closed to the public. Security Services staff are working remotely. We have created pathways, based on each type of badge, to submit your application for a background check and badge. It is very important that you follow the directions for your badge type!

     

    PPS New and Returning Hires: Please follow the directions you receive from your HR talent acquisition contact, or your department hiring manager. They will submit your application for you. Do not submit directly to Security Services.
