Why is that important? Why do all police departments stress this question when hiring police officers. I don't see why this question is important. or is it important to them? I am in the selection process to become a police officer.

So they can contact that department and see if they already found some DQ info on you. They also bump the PHQs together to make sure you're not altering them to fit each department. Saves that PD ALOT of time and money.
Plus, if you're testing with 10 PDs and you're far along in their processes, they don't want to waste time, believing you'll hire on with the others if you're accepted there first.

Because they share information on the background packet. If you put that you only smoked weed 1 on one application and put twice on another they want to know why there is a difference in the two packets.

It's to determine eligibility. The department wants to know what, if any, reason/s you may have been disqualified or not hired at another agency.

I am simply guessing but I would assume it is to stop potential infiltrations. If one department has rejected you already, it is likely due to a legit reason.
This is in hopes of correlating research stopping the majority of potential infiltrators.

They want to see if you have been denied by some other department so they can use the same reason to keep you out. They are lazy and they want you to do their work for them.

So you want to be a cop huh? I almost feel sorry for you.
Cops are power hungry slugs who can't hold a real job.
You also like donuts right?

Normally, they may want to look at your test scores from other depts. Or, they may want to look at any reason you were not selected for another dept.
