A check will be made of the applicant's present and past employment, financial responsibilities, traffic violation record, conservation law conviction record, and criminal conviction record. An unacceptable report of any of these records will be cause for rejection of the applicant or disqualification of the applicant's examination. A felony conviction will automatically disqualify the applicant. Reports on these and other related matters will be made a part of the investigation report.
