Hello,
I am currently applying for a federal job such as army/customs/police, etc. something along those lines.
When I was 14, I was arrested for trespassing on a construction site and charged with burglary. I had no malicious intent, though, not that it is important now I suppose.
Anyway, I am wondering, can this come up in any sort of work disclosure, vetting, etc?
It doesn't seem to come up in the standard national police check but I'm aware these sort of organisations can take things a step further. My caution is spent as its been 5+ years since the arrest (almost a decade actually) and I have not committed any crimes since, so it wasn't converted into a charge.
Anyway can this come up in any checks? Can it affect my prospects, if they ask me if I have ever been arrested? Do I have to state the situation even if it is a spent charge?
Thanks for any help.
