OP, I have been on departments that have a "health and safety" division as well as protocols and some that have had a need for them but just do not want to waste the time or money on issues that do not affect the rating of the department. My first department in the application said that I would...
What they are looking for is not your login information as much as your username you go by. Most people do not have their facebook set up to www.facebook.com/first.lastname. It helps narrow down the user for background checks. I have to do it when I apply for special jobs and for security...
