VOICES FOR THE EMPLOTMENT OF APPLICANTS WITH ARREST RECORDS!

VOICES FOR THE EMPLOTMENT OF APPLICANTS WITH ARREST RECORDS!

 

 

All of us who are unable to get employment due to having a police record of misdemeanors, citations, etc need to find how to get an employer to avoid the quick and/or knee-jerk action of exclusion. I personally know of six Black Boys of family and four friends that have automatic police citations of “victimless” infractions have graduated from college and cannot get employment because they have police records. These are but six of millions of boys in this predicament.

What is needed is an accepted employer policy and procedure of conducting an acceptable and easy action of a review or discovery of the substance, character, and circumstances of these unfortunate but potentially good applicants/employees for employment by:

 

1. Conducting an interview with the applicant,
2. Getting a history of the record(s) (conducting a discovery) to determine the seriousness and accuracy of the record.
3. Determination of the date(s) and severity of the police recording plus the term and status of any plea-bargain probation(s).

 

It would be helpful if those who have the experiences of being refused or released from employment because of a policy of employers to automatically take actions of denial and/or release, a central “help” resource must be pursued. This communication suggests and offers a central source to record and get information to fellow applicants with records. You must realize that this is not an individual problem. It is a pervasive universal problem of millions of Americans who have had problems and are now trying unsuccessfully to join the legitimate labor market. The denial of employment is the reason for employment most people, who have records, turn to unlawful activities after they have paid their debt to society.

 

Please send a brief note of your problem to E-Mail (jscru5750@gmail.com). You will receive a number for your identification (instead of your name) and any information that has been logged that will help your situation!!
