DHS vs DoD Subject Interview

Hi. Anyone know the difference between a DHS security clearance interview vs a DoD security clearance interview? Same line of questioning? Same field coverage?

TIA.

Same adjudication standards…but…differing agencies can choose to not clear a cleared person. They interpret standards differently. For many years the Border Patrol poly had huge failure rates. Sme people cleared poly elsewhere

But in terms of the actual Subject interview, is it correct to say that the line of questioning given by the investigator fairly the same as a DoD Subject interview?

They are generally the same although DHS has some additional questions specific to their requirements.

Oh I see, probably those additional questions we sometimes have to ask with regards to LEO positions. Thank you!

Yes. Because they need flesh out all the topics.
