An information security officer had been hired to fill a critical vacancy a year ago. He was one of the more proactive and effective security officers in the more than 20 agencies in our government organization. The HR director from this particular agency received a call from a county probation officer who said that one of his probationers was employed and had been lying to him. The probation officer discovered that after being convicted of felony embezzlement, this employee had been released from prison mere weeks before being hired as a public servant in this public agency.”]
