Will California department of corrections refuse me for having bad credit?
I have very bad credit. A repossession, defaulted student loans, about $10,000 in collections? Will this really hurt me in determining if i will be a suitable candidate?1) They will ask you just be honest.
2) I cannot answer for California, but many agencies do take credit into consideration because they would view a person with your credit a High Risk officer. This is due to the fact that some of the inmates will try to buy you, and in detention centers this is very dangerous, and counter productive to you, other officers, and other inmates.
3) They most definitely can reject you, and they often do reject candidates with bad credit.
4) Bad credit is a frequently dis-qualifier for any kind of position of trust and responsibility.
