    Assault charge
    I was recently charged with a misdemeanor assault charge. If I get convicted will I be able to still get a job with a law enforcement agency in Wisconsin? I was trying to break up the fight. It says this in the police report. The incident occurred in North Carolina

    Hello E:

    If it ONLY says that you were trying to break up a fight, then you wouldn't be charged...

    If your FUTUR is important to you, then I would hire an attorney to fight THIS charge, because if you're found guilty, or you plead guilty, you may NEVER get a job as a cop.

    But that's in the police report. The only reason I was arrested was because 10 days after one of the guys wanted to press charges. I just find it funny that after the guy says I was trying to break up the fight he said that I threw him on the ground and broke his arm. Yet some how he managed to go and get a gun and shoot at my friend

    Hello again, E:

    I don't think so. If the cops didn't think there was a crime, it wouldn't matter how much somebody wanted to press charges.

    From my understanding you can still work in law enforcement if it isn't a felony but you may have to allow some time to pass before you apply for the job.
