What type of misdemeanors do not affect the disciplinary record for LDO and CWO applicants?

Minor traffic violations under $300 are considered less serious offenses and typically do not carry the same weight as other types of misdemeanors or felonies. The rationale behind this is that these minor infractions are usually viewed more as civil matters rather than criminal ones, reflecting a lower level of recklessness or moral failing.

For LDO (Limited Duty Officer) and CWO (Chief Warrant Officer) applicants, maintaining a clean disciplinary record is important, and minor infractions such as these will often not adversely impact their applications. The focus is on more serious misconduct that could indicate a potential issue with judgment or reliability.

In contrast, minor traffic violations over $300 and all misdemeanors could pose more significant concerns for candidates, as they may suggest patterns of irresponsible behavior. Felony convictions are typically considered the most severe and can significantly hinder an applicant's chances of being accepted into these programs due to the serious nature of the crimes associated with them.
