This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 38-1121, which mandates that law enforcement agencies provide a summary to applicants who were not hired or selected to advance in the hiring process. The summary must include specific information regarding the reasons for the applicant's non-selection, such as concerning background information, failures in physical fitness standards, medical concerns from examinations, polygraph test results, and psychological exam concerns.
The bill clarifies the definition of "law enforcement agency" to include municipal police departments, county sheriff's departments, publicly funded law enforcement departments, and the department of public safety. This addition aims to enhance transparency in the hiring process for law enforcement positions by ensuring that applicants receive detailed feedback on their applications.
