Dear Jason B, did they take your finger prints? If your finger prints were taken when you were charged it may be possible that it would reflect on the clearance certificate,

Hi Jason. If case was withdrawn, then it means you have no criminal record. You should consequently get a clean police clearance certificate. Being charged for any offense does not count against you until you are actually convicted. You are presumed innocent until found guilty.
