Nearly every state permits police officers to have criminal convictions, so long as they aren't felonies, involve domestic violence, or are sex offenses. What matters more than the past criminal conduct is the length of time that has passed since the offense occurred, and the conduct of the offender during that time. Police agencies recognize that people make mistakes, especially when they're young. The important thing is to learn from the mistake and change your ways so as not to repeat it. Show the hiring agency that you can live honorably and obey the law by doing so for several years before you apply. Each agency's evaluation of how much time has to pass with change with the agency, the nature of the offense, and the conduct in the intervening years.
