First, one question.. do you have felony convictions on your record which have not been overturned? If the answer is yes, you are a felon - not a former felon, not an ex-felon.
If you legitimately can call yourself an ex-felon, then yes. If you're still a felon, it's still possible - surely you've heard of Dog the Bounty Hunter?

∙ 13y agoNo, because it is a government job. It requires a background check, and since it requires a background check, a felon applying for a position as a criminal investigator, the felon would undergo a background check, and therefore, the felon would fail the background check automatically and the felon would not get hired. So NO!!! The felon would not get hired. The US does not offer government jobs to criminals.
Added: In addition there is the very real and practical matter of the ex-felon investigator testifying to his findings against a defendant in court. The defense attorney would simply disclose the felon-investigators background to the jury and then proceed to 'tear up' the investigators reputation by sowing doubt in the jury's mind as to the investigators honesty and truthfulness
