My husband got into some trouble and got a diversion for a felony charge. This happened 2 years ago, and he has completed all of the community service and paid back what he had to. He wants to get a job as a police officer when he comes home from Iraq. But a recruiter that he talked to, said that he, and every other police station wouldn't hire him bc thats on his record. So will he ever be able to be a cop? He passed the Army's background check. He can go to Iraq for 16 months, but he can't be a police officer?!

Usually the rule is after 7 years an appeal can be made for an offense to be expunged from a record not posotive if that is Kansas, but i would assume it is more than 2 years for a felony in any state.

You can get the felony removed but it takes about 7 yrs or more, depending on the crime. Also you have to get a judge to do paperwork to remove the charge. It depends on the state as well, some states will not remove a felony at all.

Your husband can go to a judge pay 50.00 $ for paper work & ask the judge to expunge it from his record completely. Totally up to the judge some of them are realy understanding I no someone who did this. This was in KS call the county clerks office at the court house they will send you the paper work. GOOD LUCK

Army is different from police. I don't think you can be a cop and convicted of a felony. (even though they all do it.)
