Your background investigator is going to ask you about it, so be honest and tell him/her exactly what happened.\nIt isn't going to help you, but depending on what your discharge report says, you may still have a chance.\nI should warn you, that if  the details of your discharge come out while you are still a probationer, you will have to put up with a lot of verbal abuse from your fellow officers.

not necessarily, but a college degree (especially in criminology) will increase your chances of getting hired. however, you CAN apply for it, if you are at least a high school graduate. my uncle is a police officer, he didn't graduate college but he WAS in college -- he studied, then quit. \ntry taking some criminology classes in a community college -- so that you will gain information about the career. and good luck

You should certainly check that out; I understand that many ex-convicts have obtained law degrees and made careers in the legal field, as lawyers, private investigators, parole officers, sometimes even as cops.  Restrictions vary by state.  Your felony conviction will remain on your record (as you know) but it is not necessarily an impediment.  Good luck.

If the discharge was not dishonerable you can probably get it changed yourself.  If it was a general discharge just contact DOD.

Yes you can.  I hope in your case there is already a Support Order in place.  In spite of the fact that you've been emancipated, you can sue for the arrearages. I say go for it!!!  :)\n\nBest regards!

Yes it is possible. You can get an emancipation...but you can only do that if you have good reason (i.e. your parents are abusive or drug addicts etc.) If you don't have a good reason then it isn't possible unless your parents decide to sign you over to someone else.

Expunged: Go to a Lawyer and ask him if you qualify. Some offences you can not have it done.

That is how law defines that, if you were tried in a common pleas court, you could try to appeal your case, if that doesn't work, you need to try to get though it, after all :if you cant do the time, don't do the crime! I work in a police office and since you have been sentenced to rehabilitation, your stuck with it. I hate to say it, but there really isn't anything you can do, but appeal.

It all depends on how the commanding officer wants to handle it.\n\nYou can get an Article 15, which will probably order a court martial (as for a special if it is not handed over to a General and get a real live lawyer).  The court martial can kick you out, give you big time brig time, both - being kicked out after the brig time, all but being hanged or turned loose if you are found guilty.  \n\nYour discharge will be Dishonorable, you will get no VA benefits and things like that.  It can hurt employment, cost you money because of lost salary because of the Dishonorable, etc.\n\nFour years in the Navy working for JAG as a Legal Clerk and Court Reporter.

Check with the local police department.  If it's allowable, they will guide you in the right direction.

sorry i'm not in the field but have a couple friends who are. they are actually training for other things. one is training to be an emt and the other a cop. i assume the background of the classes they've taken helped them get the job.

You should be over age 21, no record of domestic violence, no felonies, clean driving record, no assault convicitons. Have good eyesight and hearing. Ability to run, climb, etc. Weight in proportion to height. No psychiatric illness. Decent credit record. You can take criminal justice courses at college. You can contact the academy in the state you want to work in and ask about putting yourself through pre-service program (pay your own way to become POST certified). Being POST certified makes you a better hiring candidate.  Starting out as a dispatcher can be good (you'll become certified for that too). Dispatching isn't easy though, so don't think of it as "the bottom:".  It's high stress and you MUST be able to multi-task to a high degree. Otherwise you need to be able to keep your cool, handle stress and confrontation, deal with mess (dead bodies, feces, vomit, all that fun stuff) and have good common sense. POST stands for Peace Officers Standards and Training. There should be a POST in your state.  If you want to work and train in another state go to their POST website and academy website.  There are also pre-service programs for dispatchers.

yes. I lost a job that way once. They let me start before the police background check came in and they fired me a week later.

Can't call the court, because not all police reports go to the court.\n\nIf the officer can't give it to you at the time you're making the report, call the Records division (or whatever they call it where you are) and ask for it.\n\nSeems easy enough...is that really what you needed to know?

could depend on the nature of the reckless. Was a car or firearm involved. Security work, body guards, private detective are not ruled out. The rest of the positions rest on the rules of the force you want to join. Is 19 still considered a minor in your state. Most of these records will are sealed at adult hood & won't go against you. Try to find someone  or write directly to the desired department & ask questions\nThe lockout is not as great as most people think\nIt is what you do from then on, education, effort, try getting involved with some community work. Keep your nose clean\nBetter to not even have a traffic ticket until apply

Go to the local PD and have them run you through NCIC. I would do it but it violates the NCIC rules and I could loose my access.

You can become a Firefighter without going through Paramedic school. Normally, at an accident, the Fire Dept shows up in case extraction is needed using Hurst tools or to make sure there is no danger of a fire due to gasoline leakage. At least that's how it is here in Florida. Wish ya luck. Honored profession. :)
