Ask A Recruiter – Question #245

Posted by will_led

Is having a felony that is reduced to a misdemeanor an automatic disqualification for police work?

Dear will_led,

Whether this would disqualify you for a career with us would depend on what the crime and situation was in your case. We evaluate every individual on a case-by-case basis. Don’t let it discourage you from applying. Just keep in mind, throughout the process it’s important to be honest.

Good luck,
