    It means the court is cutting you a break, even though they are not letting you go without conviction. According to this interpretation, it will count against you as a conviction.

    Suspended imposition of sentence or SIS is a sentencing option available to the trial court. In SIS, usually the defendant is placed on probation. If the defendant violates probation and faces revocation, the Judge may order any sentence within the full range of punishment for the crime convicted. If the defendant successfully completes probation, no sentence is actually ordered. Therefore normally an SIS is not considered a ‘conviction’ for anything other than law enforcement purposes.
    ----------------
    In Missouri, Mo. Rev. Stat. § 557.011.2 allows a court to Suspend the imposition of sentence, with or without placing the person on probation. Suspended executions of sentence are considered to be final judgments by Missouri courts, while suspended impositions of sentence are not. However both suspended impositions of sentence and suspended executions of sentence qualify as prior convictions for purposes of 21 U.S.C.S. § 841(b)(1)(A).( Drug Offenses)[ United States v. Craddock, 593 F.3d 699, 701 (8th Cir. 2010)]

    If you successfully complete a suspended imposition of sentence, that is not a conviction under Missouri law. "Under Missouri law, a 'conviction' includes a suspended execution of sentence but does not include a suspended imposition of sentence. "

    You can expect, though, that police agencies will be aware of the disposition if you apply for employment and that it can factor into their decisions.
