If I am a current member of the US Army Reserves and have an adjudication withheld for grand theft, Can I would like to work in law enforcement?

Can this still happen for me or should I let it be?

Assuming you have yet to be convicted of the grand theft charge at this point in time you have not been convicted under the laws of all states in this country for this alleged crime. However, the mere arrest for such a crime could impede your ability to work in the area of law enforcement.

I suggest that the best way to answer your question is to apply for an armed forces position and see what transpires. Different departments have different criteria for accepting recruits.
