Could Convicted KCPD Detective Return To Local Police Work!?!

Spoiler alert . . . Probably not.

In fact . . . The question reminds us of the kind of news junk that Buzzfeed used to post in order to help destroy the Internets . . . A bit further down in the missive, here's a quote on the topic with more deets:

"DeValkenaere was convicted of second-degree involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action in the shooting of Lamb, both felonies. 

"Even after he is freed from prison and off of parole, it’s unlikely that he will be able to rejoin the police, according to Missouri statewide statutes. 

"Being convicted of a felony is a nonstarter for many law enforcement careers. State and federal laws prohibit people with felonies from possessing a firearm, usually a requirement of the job. Missouri law also sets certain standards for police officers to remain licensed by the Department of Public Safety, and officers face revocation of their state-issued licenses if they are even suspected of a crime in certain cases. 

"Section 590.090 states that a director can immediately suspend a police officer’s license if they were under indictment, charged or convicted of a felony. A recent job posting for KCPD requires that applicants not have any felony convictions."
