Legal Question in Employment Law in Michigan
Federal Security Liscencing Laws
I work for a security company. I was recently convicted of Disorderly ''Persons/Conduct'' Under Advisement in the 52-1 district court. I have been placed on investigatory suspension due to the conviction. My boss said the legal dept has to interpret the federal licensing laws re: security company licensing and wether I can remain under the company's license. I was told even though I am not personally licensed by the state, that after 9-11 the federal government licensed security companies and their employees under the umbrella of the company and if a person is convicted of certain crimes they can't remain under the company's license. Can they hold it against me if my charge is under advisement. If so is my charge one that will not allow me to remain under the company's license?

Re: Federal Security Liscencing Laws
You were not convicted. Your plea of guilty or "no contest" was taken under advisement. If you complete the advisement period without further incident, your plea is not entered and your case is dismissed. If no violence was involved in the charge, it should have no effect on your company's license.
