    Default Getting Employment in Law Enforcement

    My question is pertaining to employment. Almost 5 years ago i got in trouble and i was a first time offender. I was in the pretrial intervention program and completed everything. I'm getting ready to get my record expunged and since then i haven't been in any more trouble. I'm currently in school going for my bachelors in criminal justice and want to be a probation officer. I want to know if my expunged record will keep me from being hired since i know that law enforcement has the right to look at sealed or expunged records. My charge at the time was larceny. I will appreciate any help or feedback for this question and thank you.

    Default Re: Getting Employment in Law Enforcement

    Every few days somebody asks the same question.... the answer doesn't change.

    When police agencies review applications from people with criminal histories, they're apt to view them less favorably than the applications they receive from people who don't have criminal histories. Assuming the criminal history is not automatically disqualifying, the rest is up to the police agency.
