How long did you work there? If over 6 months and you were over 16 years of age....yes you need it. Look on page 2 of packet 3 here:

g. OTHER COUNTRY POLICE CERTIFICATES. Applicants aged 16 years and older must also present police certificates from other countries where they have lived for six (6) months or more after reaching the age of 16. As with NBI clearances, foreign police certificates should be obtained in any maiden names, aliases or nicknames used while in the country in question, including different spellings you have used of those names. Country-specific information on how to secure police certificates is available on the State Departments web site at http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_3272.html.
