| If your application asked have you ever been convicted, then you have to report it, criminal records stay on record forever unless taken off.
also even if explunged it is never explunged from the police check they do.
As for as having it explunged maybe in 5 to 8 more years, most courts want to see 8 to 10 years of no problems, work history and perhaps more education.
As for as being a police officer, yes , you won't get on to the largest highest paying departments, they get about 100 applications for any one opening. so any problem can keep you out of them.
But there are 100's of smaller departments, with lower pay and less benifits.
Police officers are allowed to have some criminal record depending on the department, but alot of it is that since there are so many people wanting the job, the department getws to pick who they take |
