No you must have a clean police record to be considerd a police reqruite
You certainly can. If the record was destroyed because of it being a juvenile conviction, you'd be perfectly fine.
It is extremely unlikely.
No. Not in the US.
It's not impossible to become a police officer with a juvenile criminal record, but it will be very difficult, especially while you're in your 20s. You will need to show that the juvenile offense was the result of behavior you have abandoned and you have maintained a clean record of good conduct for many years since. This means no arrests, no traffic violations, a good work record, no use of illegal drugs, and meeting all of your financial obligations.
To become a police detective, you have to first become a police officer. Requirements to become a police officer vary, and how you become a police officer varies depending on the state and the department. Most police departments require officers work at least 2 (usually more) years before being eligible to become a detective. Becoming a detective is usually a very competitive process. If you want to become a police detective, become the best police officer that you can. Maintain an excellent record and reputation.
It is possible in some states, other states prohibit the hire of anyone with a felony record.
no because it is on your record and can not be over-looked, to become a cop you must have a clean record 100%
