Age of person? Go to the town he lives in and see if they have a DD-214 on file from him. This is a record of military service used to verify eligibility for property tax credit. it is a public document.
Depending on his age, if he served during a war, Vietnam as an example his enlistment / draft record my be able to be located.
Search his name for resumes.
The DD-214 contains private information (SSN, name, address, etc.). It is not a public document. Only the original recipient, or their next of kin can request copies. If you are next of kin, you have to prove such.
I’m familiar with the process. I recently got a copy of my DD214. I’ve talked to a few other folks locally. Through a contact, I believe the individual, in his early 20’s, is going to have a problem when he goes the police academy.
The real issue is small towns in WV have a hard time attracting and retaining police officers due to the low pay. Sometimes they don’t look too close at the credentials.
