Which document should be submitted with a peace officer application?

The correct answer is the TCIC/NCIC check results. When applying to become a peace officer, it is essential to demonstrate thorough background checks and verification of an applicant's criminal history. TCIC (Texas Crime Information Center) and NCIC (National Crime Information Center) checks provide critical information regarding any prior arrests, convictions, or other relevant legal issues that could affect an applicant's suitability for law enforcement roles.

This documentation is crucial as it reflects the integrity and reliability of the candidate, aligning with the standards set forth by TCOLE to ensure peace officers uphold ethical responsibilities and community safety.

Other documents, while important, do not meet the primary requirement for initial application submissions. Proof of citizenship, while necessary for employment eligibility, is often reviewed separately. Psychological evaluation reports are typically required after the application phase and are part of the comprehensive evaluation process. Similarly, driver’s license history is valuable but not a primary document needed for initial submissions, as verification can occur later in the hiring process.
