Subject: Felonies......... Mon Jun 01, 2009 2:28 am
Im only 15 and I already have two felonies on my record. Its been my dream to become a cop and move to a detective in homicide or narcotics. The two felonies i have is distrubition and aurson. I make really good grades in school i have around a 2.6 GPA and plan to get a degree in criminal justice. Will the two felonies effect my chances of becoming a cop?

Having two felonies on your record could surely hurt your chances of becoming a police officer. It is not likely that you would be hired as a police officer for a number of years. The two charges you mention are serious!

You would not be able to become a police officer with my department.

that i was 15 when I got charged with those felonies and if i stayed clean for the rest of my life and plus since imm going to college I would apply when im around 22 or 23 that wouldn't make a difference?

Stay clean, be a model citizen, earn a four year degree, and consider joining the military. I would wait ten years, and then apply. You can turn yourself around!
