    Default Working In Law or Corrections With a Criminal Record

    I am a 28 y.o. from Massachusetts. It has been a goal of mine for many years to work in the law/correctional field in Mass. I have not been able to reach this goal, due to some items on my record.

    I do not have any convictions, and my cory if fine; but when private security agencies, and certain law fields run my b.o.p. (board of probation) it comes back with three arrests for a&b when I was under 17, and b&e during the daytime when I was 16. Again I have no convictions on my record, but when they run a b.o.p. and dig deeper these things surface.

    I can't even get to exlpain these items (over 10 years old now) because as soon as they see these they slam the door shut.

    Is there another approach to this? Do I throw in the towel? Is there a way to have these items removed from my board of probation?

    Default Re: Working In Law or Corrections With a Criminal Record

    Certain types of employers can and will see past criminal problems that other employers cannot access. I can't say "throw in the towel," but consider alternate employment for now while you build a record that will assure law enforcement employers that your prior issues truly are a thing of the past.
