Hiring/BI question – FELONY of a SO
I am new here looking for some tips (what a great forum BTW, rookie tips especially).
Can someone please comment whether being with a SO (girlfriend, boyfriend, fiancé, spouse, etc) who had a felony conviction?
(non-violent crime, and not related to drugs/s*x, but a felony. Will it be an automatic DQ for a person who is otherwise qualified?
And by “qualifiedâ€, I mean the candidate offers a specific skill-set the particular PD is agressively targeting.
I had some arguments with a few friends, and all claimed they “know for sureâ€, however none are LEOs, so really, they can only speculate... so I'm asking you
I know someone who thinks he will be immediately rejected because of his SO's record. Do you know anyone in this position – would you give applying a shot? In such case – is your SO’s past something that needs to be mentioned beforehand? At which point?
Any reply is greatly appreciated!
W-how
