LEO application

[Gunner]

I'll be graduating here in the spring and was looking at the applications for some Counties and saw parts where they want to list any Misdemeanors or felonies that you have committed, whether you were caught or not. Now I'm haven't committed any felonies or anything terrible but I'm human and young so I'm not perfect. What I have been told is to be honest and list anything you have done, it shows honesty and integrity. So my question is what types of stuff will bar you from being considered? Is there some sort of statue of limitations?

Honesty is what they're looking for

It's a WIN-WIN question for their hiring process. If you admit to everything you did and they don't like something you listed they will wash you. If you lie and they find out they will wash you.

I will say that its your choice. BUT, on 2 seperate polys from 2 seperate agencies the examiner has asked me the question "were you completely truthful on your application and with the examiner" I think that is word for word. now if you werent, could you pass a poly? everyone is different.

Honesty is the point here, because although you may have gotten away with something as a young lad, if you don't know what your neighbors and acquaintances will out you for, and then the polygraph will begin to place stress on you and then you may admit to something during the poly exam that wasn't disclosed on the application of background history questionnaire.

They recently reelected a dope smoking foreign queer to the office of the President of the United States.
You'll likely be ok.

In extreme cases or kidnapping, murder, or bank robbery? Sure.

That's legal. Age of consent in CO is 15.
