Q: Am I eligible or qualify to become a police officer in Florida? I have felony record of fraud that is currently sealed. The record has been sealed since 2006 however, the crime was committed in 2002 and I should be eligible for expunction next summer. I have read many forums on Google regarding that aspect and some says it depends on the agency or state law. In one particular post says that most agencies in Florida would hire someone as a police officer with a sealed or expunged felony of fraud over 10 years however, an anonymous police officer in Florida says that the sealed or expunged record must obtain a full pardon from the governor in order to be eligible. If the last statement is true, how do I go about getting a full pardon from the governor?

Answered . This is not a criminal defense question; It is an administrative / regulatory / licensing question, and no lawyer can tell you whether or not you will be able to be certified as a police officer.
If you want to increase your odds at getting a competent answer then you should ask the only folks who can provide you an answer, to wit: the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. For your convenience I have attached a link to their website below.
Please see: https://www.fdle.state.fl.us/Content/getdoc/16b5a8f6-412c-4c72-817e-d26cb05b2e3d/how-to-become-an-officer.aspx
In so far as he pardon aspect of your question, everything that you ever wanted to know about clemency – “the pardon process” – can be found at the following link :https://fpc.state.fl.us/Clemency.htm .
Sadly, at best an award of executive clemency is a veritable lottery drawing, and at worst it is truly a political process which is housed in a shroud of alleged fairness. In point of fact the odds of getting an award of a gubernatorial pardon are probably close to those for winning the lottery.
I hope that I have been helpful in answering your question.
