Greetings fellow members,
I've been considering applying for a position with either local PD or Sheriffs when I move to NC.
My only issue is with the criminal records portion. Back in 04, I was charged with receiving stolen property. I plead guilty and received 18 months HYTA probation. It was expunged after my successful completion. When I applied for my CCW last year in Michigan, I admitted to the State Police, my violation and they requested additional info and an interview. Anyway, I was given a CCW. My question is, most police employment applications that I've come across automatically exclude me because of what happened 6 years ago. What are the chances that if I keep it real and admit on the application that I'll be considered? I already know the alternative, that if I don't and do get employed that it could come back to bite me in the ass. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks..
I've served honorably with the Marines and the Army Nat'l Guard with two deployments to Iraq. One deployment in each branch.
