Can you still be a cop if you have some things on your record?

Question

just minor things though like carrying a knife or stealing or something like that. thanks to all who answered

Answer 1

I think it only matters if it is a felony.  

Answer 2

Probably not. If you stole inthe past what's to keep you from stealing from people you pull over, drug dealers, etc.  

Answer 3

Check with your Local Police Department. Simply call and ask. There are Plenty of Cops out there that have done Much Worse than you.

Answer 4

if its not that bad then i think its ok

Answer 5

Yea I don't think so. Like if the other guy said if you stole before how do they know  your not going to steal again when you check a drug dealer and he has a lot of cash on him.

Answer 6

a misdemeanor no, a felony will exempt you
