Question

Can you still become a police officer if you didnt disclose you had medicad ?

Answer 1

Your medical records are covered by HIPPA, so they are confidential.

Unless there was some other circumstance you didn't disclose, they will probably not even find out.

Answer 2

The problem here is that you lied.  If they discovered you lied, that could end it.  It should make a difference if you received medicaid.  It's the deception that will get you into trouble.
