The City of Mission may fully investigate the record and work qualifications either before or after employment by the City. The City will also fully investigate any persons, office, agency or source, having information and knowledge about personal, employment, criminal, credit or financial history, physical screening, and other related matters as may be necessary in arriving at an employment decision.
