What aspect of a criminal conviction is NOT considered when determining if an applicant poses a significant safety risk?

The reason social media presence is not considered when determining if an applicant poses a significant safety risk is that social media activities do not provide a direct or conclusive indication of an individual's behavior or intentions related to safety and criminality. While an applicant's social media may contain personal opinions or interests, it does not typically reflect their criminal history or ability to fulfill the responsibilities of a security officer.

In contrast, conviction history, findings of mental incompetence, and the history of criminal traffic offenses are directly related to an individual's past behavior and decision-making ability, which are critical factors in assessing safety risks. Such information helps employers evaluate whether an applicant has a pattern of behavior that could endanger others in a security context. Therefore, while an applicant's social media profile may provide some insight into their character, it lacks the substantive legal implications associated with a criminal record or mental competency evaluations that directly relate to public safety.
