I have a question regarding my background which hopefully won't stand in my way of becoming a LEO, but I would like your input.
For about two years I worked at my University doing security, which is loosely attached to the University's PD. I was eventually asked to resign as a result of an incident in which I was working in a dorm an allowed two former dormitory employees who I had worked with on many occasions into the office of the dorm. They ended up doing some things they shouldn't and when I found out, I reported it with proper documentation. Now, I wouldn't say that I was blameless in the situation, but they turned around and said that the whole thing was my idea. Essentially it never resolved itself beyond "he said-she said" and as a result, my boss was uncomfortable with me continuing to work there. Despite this, he told me that he would still give me good references and I did ultimately get a job with him being a reference.
My question is, how will BI's look at this? I fully admit that in allowing them access, I did something I shouldn't, but in the end, I did the right thing and reported it. Even my boss agreed that if I hadn't reported the situation, it is likely that nothing would have ever come of it.
Other than this, my background is pretty much clean. I have a good employment history, no run-ins with the law and am a volunteer reserve officer with a local PD. Any insight or advice any of you can offer would be much appreciated.
