Life event data, includes a "begin and end date" for the event(s) in question as well as the frequency of these events (if applicable). Background investigators may use this report to review a "snapshot" of the applicant's background, and/or identify pertinent issues prior to conducting their interview.

Critical Items Report
This report contains two types of information:

a. Critical Items: Are items, which have been directly linked, through research, to specific negative job outcomes in law enforcement.
b. Negative indicators: Are items, which although linked to negative outcome have not, as yet, been empirically validated (they are not used to calculate the biodata indices) used to make predictions. Nonetheless, they are identified as items for follow up.
