2 years ago I got pulled over for less than safe DUI. prior to that, I had I think one maybe 2 speeding tickets, and after the dui, I have had zero infractions. Just recently this whole thing finally ended with the result of getting it reduced to reckless driving. will this keep me or make it difficult for me to get into law enforcement? also, I'm on probation for 12 months.

Good work in having it reduced to Reckless Driving.

If you have documentation that says you wre charged with and or convicted of “Reckless Driving”; you should immediately cease any and all references to a DUI. SPC (Join to see) If you don’t have the docs, get’em! Having them officially recorded would ensure easy reference.

Being on probation may keep you from getting into it right now. Most agencies have a timeframe from when the DUI occurred. You also need to get a drivers history to see what can be expunged.
Each agency will have their own policy on if they will hire with a DUI on your history. My agency used to not hire younif you had any but now we will. I’m not sure what time frame we look for. Other agencies will allow you to work on your DUI permit... it just depends. Ask the agency you are looking at and see what they say.

Don’t sweat it. The previous Director of the FBI leaked secret information and he’s getting sweet book deals and is now on TV. You’ll be fine. Be straightforward and honest in your background information. Best of luck to you as well.
