I would like to apply for a government job, but I've had a police report filed on me a few months ago because of a misunderstanding I've made, mistaking a laptop that was mine but ended up it was not and I tried to take it from a guy who was in my college class. I cleared it up with the guy but the scene was big that the police came and took down my name and information for a police report. I was not convicted or pressed charges since it was a misunderstanding. Please refer to an older question I asked before for more information about the case if you like. My main question is, Will the US government be able to see this police report from a background check? Thanks.

No fingerprinting done or convictions or charges, but my information like name and social security was needed. Still cleared?

Probably not. They do an AGENCY CHECK and circulate your name and details to all the agencies, including the FBI.
A local "police report" by itself is not a criminal incident.
You will have to fill out a form for the background check and it will ask you about arrests. Not about the time a cop escorted you to the police station.

I work in IT/Data and my best advice is to assume ANYTHING that is reported/filed in this day and age will never go away.
I'm not being paranoid, just realistic. It is amazing how interconnected the electronic world is today. Despite all the perceived flaws in electronic analysis, find information about a specific person is much better than most people realize.
If the report with your name does show up, I would be prepared to simply explain what happened. My guess would be that the scene leading up to the report would have a larger bearing on the job than the misunderstanding that led up to it.

In the source you can find the best option to get the Records you are seeking. It is important to keep in mind that a free background check on the Internet will only take you so far and also that some companies may only update their information periodically therefore you may be looking at information that is no longer relevant (such as an address for example). Before beginning a search on someone else consider doing one on yourself to see what information you come across. Is the information accurate or not?

If the agency you are applying with does a records check with that police department then it will most likely come out. If it was a misunderstanding then it should not be any big issue. Your best bet is to be honest about it upfront when you apply. If they ask you if you have ever been arrested detained or questioned by the police, let them know about the incident. It should not play a huge factor if you are honest and there were never any charges involved.
You could also ask for a copy of the police report and submit it with you application. Honesty upfront is ALWAYS best!!!

Oh ok, if it is just a police report, then the government will not see it. Actually, let me put it this way, they don't care. Your name will be on the database for a short while. They put your name down because they need to make a report regarding about what happened at the incident and what action they took after they were dispatched by the station. Don't worry, it isn't a criminal record and the government won't check it.

Receiving a one or two hang up calls each month is probably nothing to worry about, but when those calls increase in frequency and if it happens in the middle of the night then you must do something to stop it, before it starts affecting your life. With the help of this services you can take away the one advantage these people have - their anonymity.

What's the problem. No charges were made, so there's nothing to worry about. But why repeat this question? Didn't you find the answers 3 minutes ago fitted with what you wanted to hear.

I assume you were not as there were no charges filed----good luck to you
