Approving a Tenant with a Bankruptcy because of Divorce

Hello, I have an applicant that recently filed for bankruptcy due to a divorce. Is it wise to rent to a tenant like this? They are a former police officer and a manager for a local Security Firm, so that seems comforting. 

Typically I require a double security deposit for people with low credit and I never approve anyone with a bankruptcy in the past 10 years. Recently I heard about a program called LeaseLock and I was thinking of testing it. Any advice on 1. Approving the tenant above, and 2. Using LeaseLock as a condition to approve the tenant?
