I want to become a police officer?

Question

I want to become a police officer it's something I've always wanted to do. My grandfather was Lt. Col. for the massachusetts state police and I've always looked up to him. My question is that my record is clean but I've smoked marijuana a couple of times but I'm out of that stage now and I know what I want to do. Do you think I would have any trouble becoming a police officer?

Answer 1

It won't cause you a problem. They are more concerned with how you handle yourself now, just tell the truth and you will be fine.

Answer 2

Just don't lie about anything....always tell the truth...good luck!

Answer 3

I respect your honesty and have to say more power to you in fulfilling your goal. I ask one favor, if you do become a officer of the law please, please don't forget who you represent... the people, the tax paying good citizens of this country and their bill of rights before GWB and party ripped them apart with this so called patriot act.

Answer 4

Luv my girls is right - DON'T lie about it.  If you do you will never work in law enforcement.  I know of several cops who did the stuff when they were young.  They dont' mess with it now, they have clean records, and they are excellent officers.
