Stayed of adjudication ???

I live in MN and I was convicted of reporting a false crime, it was related to a domestic abuse case in which I was the victim. I pled guilty and was given stayed of adjudication, I am now going to school for law enforcement, and reporting a false crime could disqualify me for employment, even if expunged. My question is, is there a difference between expungment and adjudication, if so in which way and what one is better adjudication or expungment,

In the common law legal system, an expungement proceeding is a type of lawsuit in which the subject of a prior criminal investigation or proceeding seeks that the records of that earlier process be sealed or destroyed, thereby restoring the subject's name. If successful, the records are said to be "expunged". Black's Law Dictionary defines "expungement of record" as the "Process by which record of criminal conviction is destroyed or sealed after the expiration of time."[1] While expungement deals with an underlying criminal record, it is a civil action in which the subject is the petitioner or plaintiff asking a court to declare that the records be expunged.

Each jurisdiction whose law allows expungement has its own definitions of expungement proceedings. Generally, expungement is the process to "remove from general review" the records pertaining to a case. In many jurisdictions, however, the records may not completely "disappear" and may still be available to law enforcement.

Adjudication is the legal process by which an arbiter or judge reviews evidence and argumentation including legal reasoning set forth by opposing parties or litigants to come to a decision which determines rights and obligations between the parties involved. Three types of disputes are resolved through adjudication:

Disputes between private parties, such as individuals or corporations.
Disputes between private parties and public officials.
Disputes between public officials or public bodies.

You can have your recorded sealed, but not expunged. Depending on how long it has been. Check out this website to explore your options.
