Questions on becoming a Police Officer?

My husband has two OWIS and a few alcohol tickets from his teen years. He is 26 now and his dream job is to be a Police officer.. He has and is currently taking college classes in Criminal Justice.. Will he be able to be a Police Officer with his Charges and do you have any suggestions on what he can do to get there? Any information would be really helpful...

Unfortunately a person with a felony or misdemeanor cannot aspire to become a police officer !

It will depend on the jurisdiction. Some cities have relaxed their requirements with regards to drinking, DUIs, domestic violence arrests and even drug use.

Your local police departments will probably have a list of frequently asked questions on their site that will let you know what they're interested in.

Also, if he was a minor the records might be sealed...but if he was over 18 and caught underage drinking, that might be a different situation.

For Example, this is the "Record Check" description for potential LAPD recruits:

http://www.lacity.org/per/psb/bgstndrds.htm

RECORD CHECKS
Candidates for public safety positions are held to exacting standards of behavior throughout all aspects of their lives. Candidates can expect specific inquiry to be made into their past behavior regarding:

The exercise of fiscal responsibility and acceptance of responsibility for financial obligations
Employing safe driving practices
Maintaining stable employment
Obeying laws, rules, regulations, and orders
Military accomplishments
Examples of potentially disqualifying evidence -- past due accounts, discharged debts, late payments, collection accounts, civil judgements and/or bankruptcy; failure to exercise fiscal responsibility commensurate with income; failure to follow all traffic laws; numerous moving and non-moving violations; at fault traffic accidents; terminations or suspensions from work; reprimands or counseling for poor work performance (including Military service); failure to meet obligations (for example, auto insurance, auto registration, selective service registration, IRS requirements, child support obligations, etc.); law enforcement contacts, arrests, and convictions (as appropriate); other than Honorable discharge from the military.
