I'm leaving for Qatar on the 3rd and this is what I've learned.
I had to get a police record clearance from my local PD. I went to Sacramento City Police Department, paid ten bucks and filled out a short form. They gave it back and accroding to my employer, it needed more. The PD changed the wording and it now includes:
Mr. _____________ , DOB 01/01/73, of 123 Mainstreet, Sacramento, CA, Passport Number XXXXXX and CDL # XXXX has no record of criminal history in this city.
I thought it would be more, like a DOJ fingerprint check that I've had for my work in school districts, but my employer says the above is okay. Once I get to Doha, I'll have to print out a letter that says something like, "The attached document is true to the best of my knowledge." Then the US embassy signs (attests) it, then the Qatar govt.
Keep in mind that this has been changed recently and my HR department seems confused as well.
