Below are a list of automatic disqualifies during our background investigation.  This list is not meant to be a all encompassing list of reasons for failing a background investigation, but it will help you better understand some of the standards our office uses during this process.  Different positions (i.e. Sworn, Detention, Support) have different standards which must be met during the background investigation, which may not be covered in this list.

  • Conviction of a crime that would be considered a felony in Montana
  • Currently have a pending criminal case against you
  • Illegal ​Use of marijuana in the past year
  • Illegal use of other dangerous drugs in the past ten years
  • Illegal use of hallucinogens or other experimental drugs​
  • Willfully providing false or misleading information during the application process
* We understand that recreational marijuana is legal in Montana. However, the LCCSO forbids its employees from using any form of marijuana, medical marijuana, or any derivatives of such. This policy applies to all positions; sworn, detention and civilian staff.   All conditional offers of employment will be followed by a drug test. If the results are positive for any drug, marijuana included, the conditional offer of employment will be terminated.
