    Default Becoming a Corrections Officer With a Sealed Criminal Record

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: NYS

    I have a conviction for drug sale 26 years ago. Presently a 15 year sworn Peace Officer for NYS, and my record is sealed as per 160.58. Do I have a shot of being hired as correction officer?

    You have been a police officer for fifteen years, so you're in as good a position as any person with a past drug trafficking conviction to become a corrections officer. Are we talking about a job with the NY State Department of Corrections? Did you ever get a Certificate of Relief from Disabilities?

    Yes I am talking about applying for a job as a NYS Correction Officer. Before I got my Job as a NYS "Peace Officer", not Police Officer, I obtained a Certificate of good conduct. Basically it restored all of my civil rights, including the right to apply to own, possess hand guns/long guns. I Sealed my conviction approximately 1 year ago as per CPL 160.58. So I'm thinking of applying for a NYS Correction job. I was wondering if I should go for it? Any advice?

    Can someone offer some insight on my concerns?

    Can someone offer some useful insight?
