I'm considering going to EMT-B training, I do have an arrest record but no convictions. Will this impede me being able to become an EMT? I have no DUI or Drug arrests.
Most licensing authorities look only at convictions. They'll usually be able to see arrests as well. What they'll want to know about is arrest dispositions. In other words, if you're arrested for something, that arrest isn't supposed to remain an open event. If arrest doesn't have a disposition, it could mean that there's still a charge pending that's related to that arrest. They may also look for arrest patterns. An arrest in and of itself isn't a horrible deal, especially if a charge is dropped. However, several arrests of the same general type could mean that there's a behavioral pattern that needs to be looked into. It might not be disqualifying, but it may need some explanation.I'm considering going to EMT-B training, I do have an arrest record but no convictions.
