I bet it depends on what the crime is though.
Why would that have an influence?
If your lad applies for the force, Stooo, he must disclose anything about himself or family/close associates, on the application. If there is anything and he does, it shouldn't count against him. If there is anything and he doesn't disclose, then that's it. People end up being refused because they were afraid disclosure might scupper their chances, so lie or feign ignorance. But integrity and honesty is what they want.
