How hard is it to get into a police department with a short sale or foreclosure on your credit?

Question

My husband and I are owners of a home with my parents that is currently trying to be short saled (in California). We have heard from several different people that if the house goes through a short sale or even worse a foreclosure that he will have no chance of getting into a police department. Does anyone have any experience with this? We have really good credit otherwise. He is looking at departments in California and Colorado.

I used their service a couple months back and they consolidated all my debt and lowered my total debt 40%.

Answer 2

A credit report is utilized by large departments, if in fact your house is foreclosed on your husband should apply to a smaller department and after gaining experience apply to the larger local or state departments, the number of active police officers who are under going foreclosure at this time would preclude any department from taking a harsh look at this type of failure.~
