It really depends on what state you live in. In Illinois, where I live pardons cannot be applied to felonies. Only misdemeanors. You need to research getting a pardon in your state, generally there is some sort of webpage from the Govenor that will tell you if you are or are not eligible. I know in IL you must write a personal essay, fill out a lot of forms, prove that you've changed your life for the better, and many other things. Try a search for "Govenor's pardon ______" put the name of your state in the blank.

Even if you get a pardon, I really doubt that they will hire your.
The police hiring model here is completely based on your past actions. Research tells us that the best way to predict somoene's future actions is to look at what they did in the past.

Felonies stay on forever. No exceptions. Fate sucks.
How about joining the Army?

Got to get them complete expunged from your record or no dice. Good luck to you. We need good people to protect the public.

Sorry. Not your line of work.
Try sociology or theoretical quantum physics.
