I’m a Human Resources coordinator at a call center with 1 year of experience. (1,000+ employees)
I’ve been offered a job as an Admin Asst to the Chief of Police. (Less than 100 employees)
I’m a little nervous about the work culture because I’ve met some pretty toxic cops in the past but this group seems awesome! They’re asking me to do a credit check, background check, and I did my fingerprints with them today. -Is that a normal thing to ask? Also, any tips on making this type of transition?

Seems like a lateral move or even a downgrade? Remember that ACAB.

Yes those kind of pre employment checks are Norma at most jobs, especially a police department

Credit and background checks are common for many jobs. I know someone who had to get fingerprinted for a marketing job with a bank, so seems reasonable for a police dept.

I don’t think it is a downgrade. OP is a human resource coordinator at a call center..
