    Hello jess:

    Yes. I don't know if it'll STOP you, but you'll have to answer questions about it.

    In my area, NY, you will not be hired. I would think a PO with "experience" would be valuable. The State does not agree.

    No, a domestic violence stops you from being able to carry a weapon, ( most areas , all that I know of) It stops you from becoming POST certfied in your state, which is reqired because this is a law enforcement position.

    Also this is a very very competitive position. About 100 applications or more for any one slot.
    Correctional officers and police offficers see this often as a promotion, as to many counseolors and others.

    At a min you will need a college degree, ( often in counselor or social work) and a few years as a police or military.
