Why cant a person with a criminal record become a crime scene investigator?

For the same reason that you cannot be employed as a law enforcement officer. Because a person's criminal history is a public record. FOR INSTANCE: If you investigated a crime scene and gathered evidence tending to convict an individual, your credibility would immediately be attacked and destroyed when the defense attorney disclosed your criminal background to the jury. Sad but true.


What must be resolve first in a case is it the criminal aspect or the civil aspect?

If there are, in fact, both a criminal and a civil side to the incident, the criminal aspect will be handled first. The "state's" (i.e.: the "people's") interests in prosecuting a crime take precedence over the civil wrong against an individual. (Think the O.J. Simpson case.) Traditionally, the criminal matter will be decided first. This is primarily because proceeding with the civil case can prejudice a criminal defendant's rights. The civil case will wind up stalled because the criminal defendant can refuse to comply with civil discovery by asserting the right to remain silent. Admissions or statements given in a civil case could be employed against the criminal defendant. As a practical matter the civil case cannot proceed until there is a resolution of the criminal matter. For further information see the related links below.


As a current or prospective employee of the criminal justice system you would be well advised to know about collective bargaining?

Or as part of your general knowledge needed to do your job in criminal law, i.e. investigating or prosecuting union related crime. It would be very useful in civil law.

Enter law enforcement with a felony in Montana?

I am aware of NO jurisldiction that will employ someone with a serious criminal record as a law enforcement officer. Even if you were to be employed - any time you were on the stand testifying in a case, the defense attorney would totally ruin your reputation by referring to your own criminal background. No jury would ever convict anyone based on your testimony.


What does bondable mean on an application form?

It means that a bonding agency would be willing to carry a bond to guarantee your behavior. Typically, if you have been pretty honest and don't have any felony convictions or bankruptcy, you'll be bondable. What is being asked here is essentially whether or not you will pass the background check. If you are free of criminal activity in your past, you will be bonded to the company, so that in the event you steal or commit fraud against them, the company is covered for the losses you have incurred. It is asking if you are eligible for a Bond, often called a Fidelity Bond. It is an assurance that you are free from criminal activity and that the comapny will not incur loss if you do come to work for them and steal or commit a fraudulent act while employed.
