1. An application for certification as a peace officer must include an affidavit stating that the applicant: (a) Is not disqualified from serving as a peace officer pursuant to NRS 289.555 ; (b) Has not been discharged, disciplined or asked to resign from employment with a law enforcement agency in this State or any other state for conduct which would, under the regulations adopted by the Commission pursuant to NRS 289.510 , constitute grounds for denying certification or revoking the certificate of a peace officer; and (c) Has not resigned from employment or otherwise separated from employment with a law enforcement agency in this State or any other state while an investigation concerning allegations of conduct which would, under the regulations adopted by the Commission pursuant to NRS 289.510 , constitute grounds for denying certification or revoking the certificate of a peace officer, was pending. 2. The Commission shall summarily deny any application for certification as a peace officer if the application does not include the affidavit required by subsection 1. 3. The Commission shall, for each applicant for certification as a peace officer, search the National Decertification Index of the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training, or an equivalent database maintained for the purpose of serving as a national registry of certificate or license revocation actions relating to peace officer misconduct, to ensure that the name of the applicant does not appear in any such index or database.
