Can i still be a cop with a misdemeanor?

Question

I got a misdemeanor for not appearing in court when i was 19 and i dont know if i can be a cop or not?

Answer 1

That depends on your state, the need for officers, and the location you want to work, and the misdemeanor.  The only one I can say for certain is domestic assault.  If convicted you cannot carry a firearm and therefore cannot be an officer.  Otherwise, call the departments in your area and ask.

Answer 2

best of luck but cops dont like failure to appears

Answer 3

Yes you can. But the police department may not accept you, or they will put another person that will be in line before you to enter the academy.
