Can you become a Police Officer if you have had history...?

Question

of Anxiety/Depression, but have it under control now? Not on any medications, will they judge you off your history?

Answer 1

Any past medical history would be covered by HIPPA, so they would not have access to it.

You will be required to submit to a medical exam, and to a psychiatric evaluation. If you pass those, you should be fine.

No, most cops have become cops because of their past.

I'm sure they won't judge you and will give you a fresh start.

Answer 8

Two approaches for your "Guarded" question. A clean bill of health from a reputable doctor;  secondly your ability to pass the mental & physical examines if so your in. I will say this type of career is not for the average Joe, a lot of would be Police Officers  are living the second approach as a Guard at the Mall. Is it worth jeopardizing your current good health and chance awakening the giant you have manage to put to sleep. Make the right choice, you are the judge that matters here.
