Is an arrest considered a criminal record?

Yes, an arrest is not the same as a criminal record. An arrest is when a person is taken into custody by law enforcement, while a criminal record is a documented history of a person's criminal offenses. An arrest may or may not result in a criminal record, depending on the outcome of the legal process.

Can you get police clearance if you have been arrested before but have not been convicted?

I believe that there is confusion in the questioner's mind over the term "police clearance." As commonly used, that term refers to the record search of the individual's own criminal history. If the individual has a criminal history, the police will furnsih them a copy of it, showing what offense(s) the individual has in his file. If the individual has NO criminal record the police will issue a notice of "No Record On FIle." Hence, the individual will have a "clear" record. Someone who has been arrested, but not convicted, of a crime WILL have a record of the arrest and the reason for it, on flile, thus, that person's record will NOT be "clear."

Can you join police if your spouse has a criminal record for drugs?

Whether or not you can join the police force if your spouse has a criminal record for drugs would depend on the specific regulations and policies of the police department you are applying to.
