Could anyone with knowledge in this area assist me.

I am an individual who have an interest in corrections, but I don't want to waste my time.

Over ten years ago I had a case closed for petit theft/ccw (first and only arrest). The disposition of the case was adjudication witheld. I later sealed my record.

Since this time I have been granted a gun license by the state and I have become a productive member of our society (i.e.,working, attending school, mentoring juveniles).

My question to you is, "Although I have beeen arrested and charged with a misdemeanor in the past, would the state certify me to work corrections?"

Anyone with knowledge in this area, your answer to this question would certainly be appreciated.

Short answer is yes. Misdemeanor charge should be fine. Call DOC or go to your local academy. Corrections is always hiring.
