How can a police officer convicted of federal civil rights violations get their civil rights restored to legally possess a handgun in the US Virgin Islands?

If it is a felony conviction, I believe it would require a federal pardon to reinstate the officer's right to possess a handgun. I cannot envision a situation in which this would be justified.
