Answer 1

The one from when you were 16 won't be a problem as crimes committed as a minor are confidential. But you didn't say how old you were when you got the misdemeanor. I think you have to actually be found guilty and spend time in jail , get probation or parole for it to effect your chances of getting into the academy.

Answer 3

Checked with my police officer/ son before answering this question...he said as long as you have no FELONY conviction, you can apply and be accepted by the police academy. Also, your past record should have been "exsponged" or deleted when you became 18 because it happened when you were a minor. Minor violations do not count against you. HOWEVER...if asked about them, be totally honest because they already know the answers and will be testing you on honesty/integrity. Good luck to you...you have chosen well

Answer 4

Chances are what you got caught for as a "minor", are not on your adult record. Although if you were tried as an adult, it might be. So I dont think that would affect you. Depending what your misdameanor/violation was. If its just a traffic violation, then you may have to wait a couple years (at least i know thats how it is up in anchorage). I would talk to a police recruiter, they would know more.

Answer 5

The only thing I am screaming is 50 rounds. If it takes 3 police officers 50 rounds to to kill a suspect then the NYPD needs to improve its weapons training program.

Answer 6

The link is to the official site for recruiting police for NY City:

The following factors are some of those which would be cause for disqualification:

* Any conviction of an offense which is punishable by one or more years imprisonment (felony).
* Any repeated convictions of an offense which indicate a disrespect for the law, a lack of good moral character or disposition towards violence and disorder.
* Discharge from employment, where such discharge indicates poor behavior and/or an inability adjusting to discipline.
* A Dishonorable discharge from the armed forces.
* Persons convicted of a petit larceny.
* Persons convicted of any domestic violence offense.
* Candidates must pass all medical, physical, written psychological and oral psychological examinations.

Answer 7

It depends on the interview process and how hard-up they are for qualified recruits when you apply. The offense when you were 16 is sealed, as you were a minor. But the one "this year"... were you 18+ at the time? That makes a big difference.

Answer 8

Most Likely but a background check will show these you best have a REL good explanation and paper work to back it up. Good Luck

Answer 9

Nope, they'll be off your record before you're an adult, unless you're already over 18. Best of luck to you by the way.

Answer 10

Possibly. Be VERY up front about this stuff. Be ready to discuss it during interviews. People have pasts and do dumb stuff and move on (drugs, etc).

Worst they can do is say no.
