Onboarding services

Next steps in the City hiring process

If you get a job with the City, you will need to pass a background check and get a special ID badge called a Disaster Service Worker (DSW) badge. To complete the background check, you must make an appointment to have your fingerprints taken. During this appointment, they will also take your photo for the badge. If you can’t take the photo that day, you can come back later to have it done.
