I recently applied for a position at a substance abuse treatment facility which I am qualified for and previously held in another state.The application asked only if I had ever been convicted for crimes against children or domestic crimes.(This position is apparently governed by the department of children and families)After fingerprinting ,I was told a felony drug conviction from 1987 was on my record.I have applied for an exemption but my former employer will not provide the information required by DCF. Can this record be expunged? If not what are my options?
If you were not a minor at the time of the crime, then it is usually not possible to expunge. However, you may seal the record depending on the particulars of your situation.
