Can you be a lifeguard if you have a criminal record?

Answer 1

it depends on what your misdemeanor is and what your position requires. Theft for a job to handle money, you're out of luck. Regular security where you may need a gun and may drive. With a non-violent, non-theft misdemeanor; just say you were young and dumb. In reality, shell out 200-300 to get an expungement. The money you save in the long run will let it pay for itself.

Answer 2

Most places do not want to hire a security guard that has a criminal record. However, you can have the crime you were convicted of expunged from your record with the help of an attorney and it cannot be used against you when applying for these types of jobs.

Answer 3

Yes, but in most cases, you will need to go to court to either have the felony expunged from your record or you will need to obtain a certificate of rehabilitation. The way it works all depends on what state you're in.

Answer 4

That would be the decision of the employer of the lifeguard.
