Probably yes. If your record was, in fact, legally expunged, it means that any record of the arrest/offense no longer exists and it will not be found when doing a background check on you. CAUTION: Don't misunderstand the meaning of 'expunged.' An "expunged" record is NOT the same as having the offfense 'dismissed' or 'pardoned.'

If you get it expunged, meaning it is no longer on your record, I would assume it wouldn't be held against you. Otherwise, felony charges, as well as misdemeanors could disqualify you.

Another View: No, VERY unlikely. Even though a criminal record may be expunged, all that means is that the general public cannot gain access to it. Your record never really "goes away" and is always available to law enforcement, the court system, and government agencies - especially when they are conducting background checks or security clearances.

HIGHLY unlikely. Expungement only removes your criminal record from being viewed by the PUBLIC records. Government agencies and background investigators will always be able to access it.

Felonies!! PLURAL!!! It's difficult and expensive enough to get one felony expunged let alone several. You probably would not succeed. As a practical matter, no.

No, not all types of felonies make you ineligible to become a police officer. Most juvenile offenses cannot be carried over to stand in the way of a person pursuing a career in law enforcement.

Felonies can never be expunged from you record they are on there forever.
