You don't have any choice in the matter regarding your violation. You must tell the truth, and come clean about this incident. As I mentioned before, your BI will want to know every detail about the incident, and it would be to your advantage not to try and hide anything. Even though your records are sealed, there are ways for investigators to circumnavigate the system, and find out what really happened. Integrity in this matter will be both expected and respected by your BI.
I don't think that being commisioned a 2ndLt will alleviate any of the responsibility for your violation, but it does show that you have demonstrated the initiative, discipline, and fortitude to become an Officer in the Armed Forces of our country. This is something that will always look good on your resume.
By the way, congratulations on the internship! Drive on!
Cheers,
Kona

I've just received a acceptance letter from the US Marshals internship program. I hope that this will open some dooers for me. I plan to tell my supervisor of my previous law violation and come clean. I beileve that by displaying my Integrity they will repect that. What is your opinion on this Kona? Not to mention, I'll be a second lieutenant in the Army by fall of 2004. Do you think that will help me make up for my minor law violation? Thanks

Deputy,
This doesn't make any sense. Whoever calls 911 first is the innocent party? Did you tell the officers on the scene that you were physically assaulted by your girlfriend, that you were only defending yourself, and trying to keep her away from you? Did they arrest her also? This is getting interesting......

What I meant by that is I was physically assulted by my ex-girlfriend and when I pushed her away her friend called the police. The police told me that since I did not make the first call to 911, they have no choice but take theri side of the story. So I was arrested for that reason. Sorry about that miscommunication. Thank you once again Kona!!

Deputy,
The fact that the case was sealed and dismissed is significant, and is good news for you. However, you can expect to be grilled on the specific details of the entire event by your BI. Your BI would still be making the determination to either hire or DQ you based on criteria set forth by the USMS. Sorry I can't give you a more definitive answer than that, but I am not well versed on the hiring policy of the USMS.
Just curious, what do you mean that you were a victim of the circumstances?

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!!!

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

- Dec 17, 2003, 07:05 AMI 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!!!!
