very little if any at all, this is only done for their safety,
when I dated a British police man, there was a code he could put into the phone [with BT's permission] that would never enable people to find out who had called them...........even when I actually had to call the police for something on a 999 call my home details did not show up which tells them this is the main residence of a police member.

A police officer's department file is kept in strict confidence by the city or county for which he or she works for. Even if a defense attorney wants to look at an officer's file for a past pattern of behavior at time of trial, he must ask the court to first review it for him. The judge then looks at the file and decides if any of the infromation in it is relevant to what the defense is asking for. If the judge doesn't see anything, the defense doesn't get a look. Even if the judge sees something that might be relevant, the defense attorney only get's to see that small part relevant to the defense attorney's case. You pretty much have to have a court order to get any sort of background information from the local government about an officer.

First why would you want background info? If a police station is the one doing the check then they can get a life history but not the general public. Would you want someone getting all your info? It is for the safety of the officer and his family. Trust me people are after officer's and their families more than you think.
