So I was just filling out an application for fun for the city of Gresham (Oregon), you can do it online and it saves your info. But I've also noticed on other applications that I've picked up, not just for LEO but any job, that when you list an employer it'll ask you if they can contact your previous employers.
Here's my situation:
I worked for Western Oregon University public safety my first two years of school 01-03 as a student public safety officer. After transferring to the University of Oregon, WOU took a big money cut and had to basically wipeout a big portion of the public safety office. Both the director and the asst. director resigned from the department as soon as the fiscal year of 03 was done. Technically both were my supervisors and are obviously no longer working there...what am I supposed to put when they ask if we can contact them? No one there will know who I am? Do I mark no and hope they ask why, or just yes and when they call no one will know who they are asking about?
