Can you become security guard with a record?

I want to become a security guard but i got record for petty theft. I gave out a discount at my job and got a arrest at 18. i'm 20 now and i want to know if I can become a security guard.

I think that you still can. I think they look for serious felonies. I was a guard about 10 years ago. Good luck getting the job.

That's an automatic "no."

If you are a thug with no brains that will not question things then I think they will definitely accept you.

Having a "record" would not remove your chances but fact its theft is just about a guarantee. I would not even waste your time

You could apply and all that could happen is they say no. May as well give it a try. What do you have to loose?

what thats weak...you gave a discount and got arrested?????...thats like so small i seriously doubt that would stop you from getting any job...18 is still young..

Probably, people are terrible at following protocol on their jobs you would probably slip right in. I don't condone it but it seems someone should open a business to help employers check up on their managers. A Business that would send out people with criminal charges on their background but that had not put them down, see if the manager properly screens the application.

Depending on where... possibly
