Application Question

[snappertrapper]

Got a question about filling out the application, about 4 years ago I got cited for Crim Mischief (S) and Disorder Conduct Hazardous/Physi Off for the same incident; now I suppose I have to list both of them in the criminal history section of the application? I received ARD for both as well. Thanks for the help guys

Yes for police applications I would recommend putting everything regardless of the disposition.

After 4 years and the fact that you got ARD means that it would mean little as long as you put it down.

Not putting it down and a hiring PD finding it would make it look like you are trying to hide it which IS a big deal.

Appreciate the insight fellas, thank you.

One other question: for the employment section do you need to list under-the-table work you did as well? It doesn't say anything specific to that on the app. Thanks again

Your integrity is one of the few things that will follow you for your entire life..... not being open and honest says a lot to an employer about your integrity.

Put it down. A lot of people do work under the table. It is not wholly unexpected. I did it in between my college years, put it down on my LE application, and had no problems. I'm not saying all departments are like mine but it is a general idea.

I figured as much, thanks gentlemen. I'm just a little nervous because I had a job in high school where I goofed off a little bit. Hope that doesn't count against me too much
