My question involves criminal records for the state of: Pennsylvania
I was 15 and 16 years old when I got a summary and misdemeanor offenses on my record. I had forgot that a 2 inch pocket knife that my grandfather
had given to me was in my bag and I got caught with it. I served my probation and expulsion from the school and paid my fine on time. I was then
allowed back into the school. Also the next year I was hanging with a bad crowd and got caught stealing from the local store. I paid my fine on time. I
was wondering how this would affect my ability to work in the law enforcement field. I am almost 21 years old. I am working towards an Associate's
degree and then I will be going back for a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice. I really want to be a police officer at the local police station or a
correctional officer at the FCI McKean. I am confused and need advice about what I should do. I have changed a lot since I got pregnant at 19. I am trying
my best to better my life. I really just want to know if the summary and misdemeanor offenses will affect my working in law enforcement. Please help me!
