	I am hoping that someone can in this forum will be able to answer my question. I am going for the US Deputy Marshals position. I'm now 26 years old, a honor studentat a well-know criminal justice college, and also a military police Army reserve soon to be commissioned as a second lieutanent. When I was 21, I was arrested for harassment, a violation charge and later the case was dismissed and sealed(ACD). Two years ago, I was charged with lane chage on a motorcycle (moving violation). Ever since I've joined the military and started college, I've been a responsible and mature person. My question is will my past law violation disqualify me during the BI process with the USMS? Is there a zero tolerance for law violations? How serious are the violations that I've mentioned? IIt has been my childhood dream to become an US deputy marshals. I do not want to get my hopes high. Any advice will be appreciated. Please help!!!!

	Deputy, I wouldn't worry about the one moving violation you received. I can't imagine that any law enforcement agency would DQ you for that alone. However, the harassment charge might be a different story. Exactly what kind of harassment are we talking about here? Sexual harassment, anything related to stalking, harassment in the workplace? Was it a misdemeanor or felony arrest? Some details would be helpful. Even though you state the case was dismissed and sealed, you will have to disclose the full details to your Background Investigator, and they will have to make a determination based on USMS hiring policy. Have you asked a USMS recruiter for any insight? Good luck, Kona

	Kona, First, I would like to thank you for your reply. The harassment charge was related to the "alledged" pushing an ex-frilfriend of mine, which I have not done so. The original charge was violation harassment. It was not a misdemeanor or felony. I amd not a violent person at all, specially toward women. I was just a victim of the circumstances. I understand that I would have to disclose this incident with the BI. But the fact that the case was sealed and dismissed, is it that significant? Kona, would this hinder my chances with the USMS? Again thank you very much!!!

	How do you go about applying to the U.S. Marshall's service? I have been looking into joining LAPD, but their is alot of red tape, so I was thinking of something federal. Any help would be great. Thank you.

PAQ, I personally qualified under their Deputy U.S Marshals military testing. I believe that the USMS are going to offer public exams sometime in the spring of 2004.
