Are police officers allowed to marry felons?

I know that police officers are not allowed to associate themselves with known felons. But what about marrying a felon can they do that?
Additional Details
isn't it illegal to and against the constitution to prohibit someone to marry someone. what if the felony was convicted 10-20 yrs ago?

I guess I can understand the concern, like someone else pointed out, a convicted felon CANNOT have or be around a firearm, and police officers, I believe, bring their gun home...But, at the Same Time, ALL U.S. citizens have the Right to marry ANYONE they so desire & the Same should apply to a police officer! I know someone who wants to become a police officer & is currently getting her Associate's Degree, so I'm gonna star your question, I asked on here about whether you get paid to go to the Police Academy, she's currently working Full Time & going to school Full Time, she has a 16 1/2 month old son to support & she CAN'T give up working to go to the Police Academy, but I understand the Police Academy is a strenuous job in itself & may not leave any time or energy to also work a Full Time job!


Look me over, I'm the Capm
Wouldn't marrying be an association?


Larry n Christy
I would say Yes but the part where he/she can't associate with a felon or the part where a felon Can't have firearms in the house might be a problem. I would call the police officers association in your area for the true answer. Good Luck!!!

they can do whatever they want...they r cops. my one cousin is a felon and he dated a cop for awhileee they were engaged but she ended up being a ho and dumped him..lol and then my other cousin is a cop in Milwaukee, WI and he is still the same kinda guy he used to be, his best friend is a felon, and I'm pretty sure he can marry whoever the **** he wants to..haha..yeah that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Big Fella
CITY OF HOUSTON TEXAS POLICE DEPARTMENTS, PROHIBITS IT SWORN PERSONNEL FROM ASSOCIATING WITH KNOWN FELONS, UP TO AND INCLUDING FAMILY MEMBERS! IT IS ALSO A VIOLATION OF GENERAL ORDERS, IF YOU PERFORM A CRIMINAL HISTORY CHECK ON AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS NOT PART OF AN INVESTIGATION! IT IS A CATCH-22 SITUATION IF DO NOT PERFORM THE CHECK AND SHE TURNS OUT TO BE A FELON AND SOMEONE DISCOVERS THAT SHE IS, YOU ARE IN TROUBLE! IF YOU PERFORM THE CHECK AND SHE TELLS ON YOU BECAUSE YOU DUMPED HER, YOU ARE IN TROUBLE! I CHECKED MY WIFE AND HER BROTHER, BROTHER DID NOT BECOME A FELON UNTIL OUR 10TH YR. OF MARRIAGE, IF HE WANTS TO VISIT WITH HIS NIECE AND NEPHEW, MY WIFE TAKES THEM OVER TO HIS HOUSE, FUNNY THING, HE IS A BIG CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTOR, EVERY REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE OR INCUMBENT, FOR LOCAL OFFICE HAS BEEN TO HIS HOME FOR A HAND OUT, BUT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO SOCIALIZE, GO FIGURE!

Not thinking so.
It is considered a conflict of interest and does not paint the police officer in a good light ethically if he is choosing to marry a felon.
