More details to this question:
I have gotten arrested as a juvenile and also and adult. More than 13 years ago. I have gotten an expungement for my adult record. I'm currently going for a law enforcement job and it asks have I ever been convicted of a crime and also ask about having a juvenile record. I honestly do not know how to answer the question because, if I have an expungement I don't not want to say yes. Neither do I know if they have a system to still check whether it's expunged or not. I do not want to lie to make matters worst. I have changed my life around I haven't been in trouble with the law ever since. I live in the state of NJ. Can you please direct me in direction of how to complete this application. Thank you!

the answer is complex. the expungement of the criminal conviction does expunge the conviction for general job applications. however, law enforcement is an exception. law enforcement can view your 'record' and take the 'conviction' into consideration. ed dimon, esq. 732-797-1600
