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.
