When a suspended imposition of sentence is granted, the defendant is placed on probation.
- If the defendant violates probation and faces revocation, the Judge may order any sentence within the full range of punishment for the crime convicted.
- If the defendant successfully completes probation, no sentence is ever actually ordered so an S.I.S. is not considered a 'conviction' for anything other than law enforcement purposes.
A suspended imposition of sentence should not show up on a background check after your sentence if fulfilled. With that said, sometimes it does. It depends on the state (I am speaking for Missouri), but once your probation is served, your records become "sealed". What this means is that the courts seal your records from all private sector businesses, so you can state on your application that you've never been convicted of a crime. NOTE: Home health, hospitals/medical offices, child care, colleges, federal & state government are all able to view your full background through law enforcement, so you have to let them know that you've received a suspended sentence if they ask.
The problem with a suspended imposition of sentence is that while you are on probation your records are not sealed. Many public & private database companies get these public records and never delete them from their systems. After probation is served and your records are sealed, your background check should come up clean, but due to loopholes within our laws, background checking companies are not required to delete sealed records from their databases.
If your record shows up on a background check after it has been sealed, you might want to contact a lawyer that specializes in removal of sealed records from public & private databases.
