HR for any department will be extremely reluctant to discuss presesnt or past employees w/o a "need to know" certification; ie, if this person had applied for a job w/your company and you needed to do a background ck.

a private investigator wd have unique sources & cd find out for you; but unless you can write it off or def need the information, it prb wdnt be worth the cost. my guess is $5C, cd be less.

unfort, many cops/ex-cops do possess the traits you mention, the field draws some real "cowboys" & the political trend is def repub.

most former LE will have some memorabilia displayed in the office; certifications, commendations, news-clippings, or even just fotos. that lacking, he's likely a "concrete commando" and might have been a security guard or somesuch.

the above mention of SEALs is quite correct, but there are so many police agencies that there is no easy way to spot a fraud.
