Legal Question in Criminal Law in Minnesota

For a background check to become a part-time female jailor, am I legally required to state that I had something deferred from my record? Even if the question is "Have you ever been a defendant in a criminal proceeding?"

I suggest you respond to such questions with complete honesty - be careful in reading what is being asked of you. It is not uncommon that an employee may be terminated, subsequent to the employment, due to dishonesty. MN law recently incorporated further protections to job applicants as to the timing of questions about criminal conduct. Tricia Dwyer Esq.
