A single minor fender bender, even if it was your fault, will not block you from law enforcement for five years.
It will more be agency specific, but I rear ended someone days after I got hired. Minor crash, both cars drove away at the end of it. Only real important thing is to actually disclose the information. But one minor crash isn’t likely to negatively impact your chances of getting hired.
5 or 6 might though, lol
They’re called “accidents” for a reason, this isn’t a thing and I wonder if someone was pranking you telling you that
