    Yes. A DUI can make it very difficult to get into training programs, criminal justice schools, and can even compromise current careers. Here is a law article on how DUI can affect police careers: http://www.tandvlaw.com/articles/dui-convictions-and-police-careers/ Deferred will be better than an actual conviction, but the charge will still show. You might want to think about having the record expunged before you try to get into a program. Here’s another article on qualifications for expungement: http://www.dallasexpungementlawyer.com/articles/determining-eligibility-for-expungement/ The good thing is that deferred prosecution may make you eligible for expungement as DUIs are notoriously difficult to remove.
