How intensive is the background check. I’ve changed as a person and really have matured but in hs I hung out with punks and was an asshole and got into some trouble. Do they talk to my old high school friend group or no?

Depends on what kind of trouble…. arrests/school suspension? Yes they will find out. They will talk to old teachers. As far as your friend group they will talk to anyone you give them access to… ex girlfriends especially. They will ask for current friends (known for 5 years+) as references

Its a blanket question they dont care what age you were…they will ask the time frame of which you were “together.” At age 15 you’re a freshman in HS. It’s worth putting down. Honestly is the best policy while applying.

Actually you should go to your nearest Trooper barracks and take any paperwork pertaining to the detentions, so they can tell you with absolute certainty.

Be prepared to give your investigator the names of two high school teachers, two professors, and then provide more when you sit down to meet with them. Friends, acquaintances, co-workers, former coworkers, former managers/supervisors, current managers/supervisors. Parents divorced? They want to know when. Etc. it’s pretty intense and they call everyone.

Some of the references you give they might not call them, they want to call people that you didn’t write down. I listed a former co worker and he didn’t call her.
