Find answers to your legal question.





Can I become a Seattle Police Officer if my spouse is a convicted felon from 16 years ago?

The charge occurred in 1992 and was dispensed June of 1993. Petty theft and forgery. Has not been in any kind of trouble since. I appreciate your input.

Yes, you can. But be warned, they will do a VERY thorough background check and that will most defiantly come up. Being that the offense was so long ago and there has been no other problems it shouldn't be an issue. Just be honest on your application and don't try to hide anything. People can change and those in the hiring positions know that. Good luck.

your spouse may not,but you can if you meet the requirements of the job.Your spouse has nothing to do with you on this matter

It should have nothing to do with you. As long as you put this info on the application form.

i do not believe that a spouse can stop you from getting a police job. haha thats funny

although your spouse has nothing to do with your record, in reality, they run a THOROUGH background check when you apply - which will include the lowdown on your spouse...and that's *very* likely to be seen as a negative, unfortunately.

(btw, keep in mind that the majority of the people answering your question are below 18yrs of age - as for me, i'm just "slightly" older than that ;) )

yes you and your spouse may share your house and all of your belongings except for your police records. your spouse could be Charles Manson and you could still become an officer as long as you had nothing to do with it.
