My good friend Ken Roybal, a retired Los Angeles Police Department veteran with an extraordinary 35 years of service to the city of Los Angeles. Ken started his career as an LAPD officer in 1980, he patrolled the streets during some of the most turbulent times in the department's history, then honed his expertise as a background investigator from 1997 to 2001, meticulously vetting the next generation of guardians. After retiring in 2003, he continued his mission in the City of Los Angeles Personnel Department, guiding countless applicants through the rigorous hiring process until his full retirement in 2018. Now, as the founder of Policebackground.net and host of The Police Applicant Podcast—affectionately known on Instagram as The Background Whisperer—Ken empowers aspiring officers with insider strategies to navigate backgrounds, interviews, and beyond.
