Slim to non. But you should not give up see if you can get a pardon or have the arrest removed from your record.

A convicted felon can not own or a carry a firearm. It is agaisnt federal law. You are considered a Prohibited person.
also for those wondering these are also considered prohibited person:
Felons;
Fugitives;
Drug addicts or unlawful drug users;
Persons committed to mental institutions or adjudicated as "mentally defective";
Persons dishonorably discharged from the armed forces;
Persons who have renounced their United States citizenship;
Illegal or nonimmigrant aliens;
Persons subject to certain domestic violence restraining orders; and
Persons convicted of misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence.
If you were a felon it does not matter how the case was plead out. It reads if you were convicted of, pled guilty to or entered a plea of nolo contendere means you admitted to a crime. Still considered a Prohibited Person under federal law and any Police Dept hiring would be held accountable for hiring you.
This kinda puts you out of being a Police Officer. Cant carry a weapon cant be a Police Officer.

Depends on the agency and what the felony was for. If it was domestic violence then I would say no. Most states don't allow a person to own a fire arm if convicted of DV.
Some agencies will determine this on a case by case basis, but this is the exception not the rule. You can get the training by paying for the academy out of pocket, such as a POST certification in CA. This may increase your chances but is not a guarantee.

Felonies will bar you from regulation enforcement in each and every jurisdiction i comprehend of. examine into your courtroom information, even nonetheless the crime ought to were a criminal, minors frequently are not any more charged an same way adults were and it ought to no longer seem as a criminal conviction. in case you truly have a criminal conviction, you are able to really petition the courtroom to expunge it (a criminal specialist ought to really help with that). notwithstanding, it would not make it "pass away". regulation Enforcement historic past investigators can nevertheless locate the information and make hiring judgments in conserving with it.

Probably not, which is strange considering how many police commit felonies daily by simply doing their so-called "jobs."
