To request the expungement of an offense from your STATE (not Federal) criminal record: You must have either been exonerated, acquited, or served the complete term of your sentence - then file a petition/motion with the court setting forth valid reason(s) why your request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON! Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being available to the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your actual 'true' record. FELONS CONVICTED IN STATE COURT OF STATE CRIMES: If your expungement is granted you will still remain subject to whatever restrictions state and Federal Laws place on you (e.g.- voting rights - elective office - firearms/ammunition possession - etc). UNLESS - you are a resident of a state which completely or partially restores your "privileges" (you will have to do your own search to learn if this applies to your state).

The answer is generally, No. Federal law states that convicted felons, as well as those convicted of a crime of domestic violence, cannot carry, possess, or own a firearm. Firearm possession is a requirement for the job, so it pretty much precludes you from employment. About the only way as a convicted felon you could become a police officer is for your felony charge to be expunged, and your civil rights, more specifically your right to possess a firearm, be restored. Even if that happens, you most likely will have a long road ahead, as it is unlikely you will be able to survive a background check with the conviction. Even though it is expunged, police departments can still find an expunged record.
