If you have a record of stealing in the past, can you still become a police officer?

my friend stole a shirt from kmart and a pair of shoes from payless 2 years ago shes in college right now for criminal justice. she hopes to become a cop when shes around 24.

What do you think?
Additional Details

If she is asked on any application or lie box answer simply and completely truthfully.
It all depends on the department but if there was no conviction normally no problem. If a conviction she still has a very good chance if everything else is OK. There are a lot of departments out there, if one does not work out try another.

yes. they give second chances.
when you become an officer after the training and what not, you have to swear your commitment.

The offences will be discussed at interview. Her reaction to being challenged will define her fate.
