Failure to Notify US HERO of Criminal Conviction:
Failing to notify US HERO of any criminal conviction (including, but not limited to, driving under the influence of alcohol or public
intoxication) within 5 days after the conviction could result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Searches and Investigations:
US HERO reserves the right to conduct reasonable investigations related to training or mission related injuries. Refusal to
cooperate with a search, inspection or investigation that is based on reasonable suspicion of a policy violation is grounds for
disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Members charged with serious criminal violations shall be placed on a
non-active leave of absence until charges are resolved.
Volunteer Background Investigation:
For the protection of our members and those we serve, all new members are subject to a background check. Any false or
misleading information provided by the volunteer or unsatisfactory background investigation reports are grounds for immediate
termination. In addition, any false or misleading information provided by the potential volunteer candidate or unsatisfactory
background investigation reports are grounds for removal of an applicant from consideration.
If information from a Criminal Background Check lists one or more of the
aforementioned disqualifying offenses, that information will be reviewed by the
Executive Board of US HERO to make a determination of that
individual’s eligibility to act as a volunteer with US HERO. If a prospective volunteer is
denied a volunteer position based upon information received from legal authorities, and if, upon review of that information the prospective volunteer feels
that the information included is wrong or that it is not his or her record, the submission of
the fingerprints for a fingerprint check will be completed for positive identification unless
the prospective volunteer can prove by other means that he/she is not the person indicated in the records.
