It is possible, however, government agencies DO have the ability, and the legal authority, to access your expunged criminal history. If the offense was not a serious one, perhaps. However if the offense was a felony, probably not, unless you were trying for a very low-level ocupation.

Can a person become a police officer with a felony over 10 years ago with a expunged record?
Even with an expunged record, your chances are really slim. My advice to you would be to talk with local police commanders before you attend the BLET (or whatever it's called in your state) course, and get their determination.Additional: Expunged records only mean that the PUBLIC cannot access your past criminal record. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will still have access to it for background investigation purposes. From my background and experience I can safely state that you will be unable to secure a job as a sworn law enforcement officer with the power of arrest.

Sorry to tell you this, but while there are undoubtedly many jobs under state government employment for which you might quailfy, you may not be able to ever get a job in which any kind of "trust" is involved. Most state job requierments specify no convictions, and especially no FELONY convictions. Even if you have the offense expunged - so-called expunged records are available for checking by government agencies doing background checks.
