(A) All police officers recruited for service shall be fingerprinted and local, state and national fingerprint files will be searched for evidence of any criminal record. Moral character will be determined by an investigation covering school and employment records, home environment, personal traits and integrity. Consideration will be given to any and all law violations, including traffic and conservation law convictions, in determining moral character.
(B) A declaration of the applicant's medical history shall be a part of the background investigation. The declaration shall be made available to the examining licensed physician who shall determine whether the applicant is free from any and all physical, mental and emotional conditions which might adversely affect his performance of duty as a police officer.
(C) An oral interview shall be held by the City Manager, or Personnel Director, and Director of Public Safety to determine the applicant's acceptability for a police officer's position and to assess appearance, background and ability to communicate.
(D) Recruitment and employment practices and standards shall be in compliance with existing Michigan statutes governing this activity.
