    You might want to check into getting it expunged

    What is a Local Record Expungement?
    O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37(d) (1) allows for the expungement of arrest charges by a local law enforcement agency when certain conditions are met (as outlined in this statute). If approved by the local arresting agency, and the appropriate prosecutor, the arrest cycle is sealed on the Georgia criminal history report by GCIC. Access to that arrest information is restricted to criminal justice agencies only. The arrest is expunged in its entirety from the FBI criminal history record.

    The following are examples of final court dispositions that may qualify: Dismissed: Not Presented to Grand Jury: No Further Action Anticipated; Nolle Prossed/Prosequi; Dead Docket; or No Record on File. All applications must be approved or denied by the appropriate prosecutor.

    To apply for the local record expungement, contact the arresting law enforcement agency to obtain an application for Local Record Expungement. The request for expungement form is a three-part form:

    * Section One - You will complete Section One and return to the arresting agency.
    * Section Two - Completed by the arresting agency that forwards the request to the appropriate prosecutor (District Attorney or Solicitor).
    * Section Three - Completed by the prosecutor who will approve or deny the request.
    * Once the prosecutor completes their portion, they will forward the complete form to GCIC.

    If the deferment worked correctly, did you re-appear in court and have the judge dismiss the charges ?

    You need to run a check on yourself, while it should happen, we get a lot of people here saying theirs did not work right automatically and they had to go back to court.

    Also what type of job, if the job requires a national security background check and/or a job within law enforcement, it will always show up
