Can you have a restraining order on your record if you are going to be a C.O. or cop?

Question

I have a restaining order on my ex and he keeps harassing me to drop it because he apparently is trying to become a corrections officer and eventually become a police officer. Can this effect his chances of getting hired? We live in Ohio.

Answer 1

don't drop the order, stand your legal ground

Answer 2

The restraining order is less important than why it was issued. Not to worry. They're unlikely to take him. They know they'll have enough problems without hiring a known one.  

Answer 3

They won't hire him if he has any family violence history, felonies or misdemeanors B or A on his record for a co.
