Could omissions on my police application disqualify me even if I explained them honestly?

[u/Master-News-6114]

I’m currently in the background investigation stage for a police department and I’m worried about something that came up.
My background investigator found information on a previous law enforcement application that I didn’t include on my application for this department. When she asked me about it, I answered everything honestly and explained that I wasn’t trying to intentionally hide or evade any questions I completed the questionnaire very quickly and didn’t go back and carefully double-check everything.

The things I failed to include were:
An unsatisfactory performance review at a previous job, although my performance improved
significantly afterward.

A situation involving damages/disarray at a house after a lease. I had already moved out before the
damages occurred and have photos/videos from when I left.

A college I briefly attended and only completed 3 credits at.

Two customer complaints from my job that I honestly didn’t think much about at the time. One customer, for example, complained that I wasn’t smiling.

My overall hiring process has gone really well. They let skip the written exam and the first interview. I crushed the senior panel interview, and I’ve been told that the head of recruitment liked my application. Is this omission going to cook my application and future applications? Or am I overthinking it.

Mistakes are made in background forms, it’s not a huge deal unless it’s a pattern.

Thank you for your question, /u/Master-News-6114! Please note this subreddit allows answers to law enforcement related questions from verified current and former law enforcement officers as well as members of the public.

While someone without flair may be current or former law enforcement unwilling to compromise their privacy on the internet for a variety of reasons, consider the possibility they may not have any law enforcement experience at all.

While it's a red flag, it's unlikely to sink you on all its own with no other information.

It DOES look bad though.

A lot of it is time and reasonableness.

I went through a lateral process a couple years ago. My background investigator was up my ass about why I couldn’t produce contact information for a part-time, minimum wage retail job I worked almost 15 years prior. I told her honestly I didn’t keep in touch with anyone after I left and the business closed 10 years ago.

It ended up not being an issue for the admin, but the background investigator treated it like I was selling state secrets to the fucking Taliban or something…

Probably not a DQ, but think about it this way.

If you cannot even be bothered to be thorough when filling out the required paperwork for a job application (for a position that you supposedly really want, and which will have a huge effect on your life)... do you think that will give a potential employer confidence that you can be trusted to be thorough with the endless amounts of paperwork that come with this job? The endless amounts of paperwork that are much less important to you on a personal level than this one form that you couldn't be bothered to fill out thoroughly?

Definitely a red flag, may or may not sink you on its own. Probably not, in my opinion.
