Applicants Must Complete Six PFPA Forms
If you apply for a Pentagon Force Protection Agency law enforcement job, you (as a USAJOBS-certified applicant) must complete up to six PFPA forms that collect criminal, background, and medical information. The agency expects about 3,600 respondents annually, the average burden per response ranges from 5 to 20 minutes depending on the form (PFPA Forms 1400, 1407, 1408, 1409, 1410, and 6040), and the total annual burden is 520 hours; comments are due June 12, 2026.
Supervisors, References, Agencies Provide Information
Current and former supervisors, character references, and other law enforcement agencies will be asked to provide information for PFPA hiring using specific forms (for example, Internal Affairs Request PFPA Form 1407, Employer Reference Questionnaire PFPA Form 1410, Application Status Request PFPA Form 1408, and Character Reference Questionnaire PFPA Form 1409). These responses are gathered by phone, email, fax, or recruiter entry and then entered or stored in Salesforce.
