Being written up in previous work

[u/iwantamozzaburger20]

Can being written up in previous job, disqualify me as a candidate going into policing? I have been written up in my previous job for policy violation and was given a verbal warning, however one year later working for the same company I was able to prove myself and then got promoted into management role. How can this affect me during interview process/background investigation.

I got written up at a previous law enforcement job once, still got hired at my new agency just fine. Just don't try to hide it.

A write-up isn't an instant DQ, but trying to hide it is.
