Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

I live in NJ, In 2002 I had an agrument with an ex girlfriend she obtained a Restraining order against me. I was NEVER arrested but was fingerprinted. I had the restraining order dismissed in early 2004. I have been trying to become a police officer in NJ for about eight years. I get so close to employment each time but I always fail a background check for this restraining order and I always appeal and show my dismissal of the restraining order I also went ahead and had myself refingerprinted and sent to the state of NJ for a clearance letter. That came back I was clear and had no record whatsoever. I even went as far as applying and receiving a gun permit with no trouble. It's whenever I go for employment purposes I get rejected due to this record that keeps showing up. My question is if i was never arrested but i have a record for this is there any way of getting rid of this record? can i have the record sealed? or expunged? even though I was never arrested? I'm very frustrated I cannot get any answers. thank you.

Please keep in mind that my response is just a general comment on your question, and not legal advice. Your question and any response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you and this law firm. The exact details of your situation and things that you have not mentioned in your question can completely change the answer to your question. You can not rely upon what I have written, because I do not have all of the formation that I need to advise you, I only have the very small amount of information that you put into your question. For me to give you any legal advice, I would need for you to hire me to be your lawyer, and then we would need to discuss this in detail and go over the documents.
