Best Answer

The answer is generally, No. Federal law states that convicted felons, as well as those convicted of a crime of domestic violence, cannot carry, possess, or own a firearm. Firearm possession is a requirement for the job, so it pretty much precludes you from employment.

About the only way as a convicted felon you could become a police officer is for your felony charge to be expunged, and your civil rights, more specifically your right to possess a firearm, be restored. Even if that happens, you most likely will have a long road ahead, as it is unlikely you will be able to survive a background check with the conviction. Even though it is expunged, police departments can still find an expunged record.
