Will a DUI in 1994 come up on a criminal background check for a county position I'm applying for?

If you were over 18 it will show up.  It should be in the system as a traffic violation only because in VA you could possibly get a restricted license.  It can be a misdemeanor or felony depending on the circumstances.  \n  If the question asks "Have you ever been arrested?" you better say yes because they'll find out.  Honesty is always best.

Check with your County Attorney.

You could call the sheriffs office and ask. That's what i would try first.

Depends on the employer and the job.  Most don't do thorough checks.  Some government agencies can view your juvenile records.  Otherwise, as in the above answer, those that check will consider your adult record.  In that case, the number of years would depend on how old you are.  If you have a minor offense in your background that worries you, you should probably disclose it rather than stress over the background check.  Some employers will fire you for lying on the application if you don't disclose something that will come up later.  Good luck.

Yes, but it will have to depend on the crime and the time frame, for example a dui would be a 2nd degree MM, and second DUI in 5 years will bump it up to a 1st degree MM, and  a third will make it a 3rd degree felony.        Check your local statutes book, boring reading, but you will find your answer.

No do not tell them that those are like the parking tickets of crime. Those aren't reported the same way I used to work in the court just leave it out. Plus it can cost up to $200.00 bucks to background check someone not every company is going to want to spend that kind of money for every applicant. Unless its a corporate job. But to the point petty offenses don't show up.

I know in pennsylvania there is a program called ARD where the dui is wiped from your record check with the state you live in

You will have to get the charges expunged to be free of this in the future also. This is a part of the computer age, with credit checks and criminal background checks. People discriminate legally all over the United States with this process. One with a felony drunk driving may have a 10% chance of being employed for getting drunk. I personally don't believe in drunk driving, but some of the States are punishing people into poverty. This also another way to control, and remove Americans from the voting process. Your going to have to live with your own choices I am afraid, and remember there really is no forgiving and forgetting after a conviction nowadays.

They will check.  See, just because someone has a "record" it does not necessarily mean that they will not get a particular job.  So if someone got a D and D or a DUI, it will not make that much difference.  \n\nThe problem now is that they caught her lying.  I've seen situations where someone was fired simply because he did not list that he had a criminal record.  What was ironic was that his record (Drunk and Disorderly) would not have stopped him from being hired.  Because he lied, he was fired, regardless of how good an employee he was.

i think if you list them on your resume the employer couldn't get that kind of info anyway... your former employer could only say how much you make, your duties, and your date of employment... that's how it is in arkansas at least...  now if it was because of a crime i think that your former employer would have to tell that...

I think a felony record is permanent.  I don't know about all employers,  but I work for the state of Arkansas and I think that if the incident happened at least 10 years,  you are considered for employment.    Sometimes one can get his record sealed so that it won't show up when a back ground is checked.  This is about all I know,  so I wish you good luck in what ever you do.  Sincerely,    David

If you call the police and ask them, they most likely will not tell you over the phone. They will want to verify your identity before giving out that kind of info. One way to check, besides turning yourself in, is to see if the Sheriff's Department in your county has a website. If so, they may have a listing of all people with warrants in the county. You could also fill out a criminal background check form, like you get for many jobs, and have a friend take it in to the police dept and run your criminal history. Not all depts are the same, but a warrant will appear on most reports.

Tricky question!  Ideally, we would be running criminal background checks daily, especially with the sensitivity of people today around such issues.  \n\nThe reality is that background checks usually cost money, and that this isn't a viable option.  Minimally, I would strongly recommend an annual background check for all employees and volunteers.  Make sure to get them to sign a release each year, allowing you to complete this.  \n\nIN ADDITION, I would recommend (again, strongly) that you put a written policy in to place, signed by each employee and volunteer requiring them to notify you within 24-hours of ALL CONVICTIONS (not arrests or allegations).  Failure to do so will result in immediate termination, blah, blah, blah.  \n\nIf you have a local paper that prints the Police Beat, make sure you have someone reviewing this regularly, as you never know what you might find in there! This would be probably cause to have a release signed, and an additional background check done.  \n\nOh, and another loophole to throw out at you . . . are you doing your state background checks, or following the path of previous living places?  It has been my experience that smart criminals move to another state in hopes of flying under the radar.  \n\nIf there's anything I can provide to you (an example of our policy or release), please feel free to e-mail me and I'll fax or mail something to you.  \n\nBest of luck! -Scot

Most places are concerned with felony charges, or violent misdemeanors. It will show on your record if checked, but may not disqualify you for a job. You do not have to select felony, because you didn't have one, but never misrepresent yourself on an application. Misdemeanors do show on criminal reports. I worked in staffing for 2 years, so trust me - don't lie!  Most places would rather hire you if you are honest than if you try to lie about it. It makes you look unaccountable and irresponsible to lie about it.

If you only have this caution, and no other convictions, it will appear on your Police National Computer list of preconvictions for five years from the date of the offence.  This means that if you are arrested in the future, the police, Crown Prosecution Service and possibly the National Probation Service will be able to look this information up.  \n\nHowever, in terms of employment and disclosure, you usually only have to declare actual *convictions* when requested to do so, and in most cases you don't even have to do this if the conviction is "spent".  So if you're worried about who you would have to tell about the caution, the answer is no-one unless you choose to do so.

Yes. Under the enhanced disclousure procedures any potential employer will get a police record search which will show any convictions, charges, cautions or suspisions. It would then be up to an employer if they wished to employ you. They are likely to ask the nature of the offecece, when it was and the background. Given it is a serious crime of violence they are likely to ask you about this before offering any employment as they have to be sure you are able and fit to work with children

That information MAY show up on a background check.\n\nIt depends on where you are applying for work (not the state you live in). There are only 10 states that do not allow employers to ask about arrests. In Oregon, we have several employers who routinely demand a "police contact sheet" of all hires. This includes every time your name was on a police report - whether you did anything or not.  Since you were arrested - it can show up. \n\nEven if you went through a diversion program or met other requirements that would get rid of the conviction - it does not automatically disappear. You still have to get it expunged.  How you do that varies by state. Check with your local county court for more information. \n\nNote to others reading this - even Juvenile records are not automatically sealed.  There is a process that you have to go through and request they be sealed (in most states). \n\nAlso the law is what the state you are applying for work in says it is. If you have crimes in NY (that NY says can't be looked at after X years) and you apply for a job in Oregon, that job can and will consider those crimes anyway.
