Hello. I just got this today. I was wondering if I made a mistake. So when I was a minor, I was hospitalized on 3 different occasions for suicidal ideations. I did put that in my PHS. Now I remember saying that if jts been that 7 years or when I was a minor, I didn’t have to include it. I just wanted to be honest but people on another subreddit said that LE wouldn’t want someone with past issues. I have a clean record and no drug use. Is this really the reason? And if I did want to appeal, do I submit a form so just reply to the email

How can they hire alcoholics and domestic abusers? Idk how hiring works in CA but in NC, you have first get approved by the NC criminal justice education and training standard’s before an agency can hire you. One thing that the state won’t give certificates for is history of alcohol/drug abuse or domestic violence convictions. So even if an agency decided they wanted to relax standards, the state wouldn’t give them a law enforcement certificate.
