Medical form decides fitness after offer
PFPA Form 6040 is a Supplemental History Questionnaire given after you accept a tentative job offer; it is reviewed by a PFPA medical review officer to decide whether you meet the health requirements. The form's average burden is listed as 20 minutes per response.
You must fill multiple PFPA forms
If you apply for a Pentagon Force Protection Agency law enforcement job, you (as an individual applicant) will be asked to complete several PFPA forms (1400, 6040, 1407, 1408, 1409, 1410). The collection lists average times per form (5–20 minutes each), covers 3,600 respondents, and totals 520 annual burden hours; some forms must be printed, signed in ink, and uploaded to Salesforce.
Supervisors, references, and agencies must respond
PFPA will contact current/former supervisors, character references, and other law enforcement agencies to provide information via phone, email, or fax using Forms 1407, 1410, 1408, and 1409; responses are entered into Salesforce and are part of the applicant eligibility process.
