People's Past

Recently in my department an event from someone's past(almost 20yrs ago) was brought up and they were removed from the department. I did some checking and tallked with this person and found out that what happend with this person was when they were 17 years old and they haven't been in any type of trouble since.. In my opinion this should have been left where it was, in his past and he should not have been removed from the department. I was just wondering what some of you other guys think.

Out of respect for this mans privacy I will not say what his past was, just that it was a long time ago and I don't think it should stop him now.

Yes, Ralph....I realize that....Juvie records are usually sealed by the court....unless tried as an adult....depends on the nature of the offense and the situations surrounding the crime....Hard to give an opinion unless we know what the conviction was for.....Not the guys name or location....just the conviction......My stance remains steadfast......Paul
