Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
Can you rephrase the question? It sounds like you are asking me to tell you if there is anything in your background that might cause you problems in being hired. Without knowing you, that would be an impossible question for me to answer.

I don't know. I'd suggest contacting your local sheriff and asking him or her.

To optimize your chances at being a police officer, there are several things you can do. These include:
1. Stay in school, learn proper english and get good grades.
2. Obtain and hold a steady job.
3. Join the military, work hard, earn commendations and be honorably discharged.
4. Complete a higher education degree.
5. Avoid doing stupid things with stupid people in stupid places. Or in other words, don't get into trouble, do drugs, drink to excess, go into debt and hang around with the wrong people.
6. Join a law enforcement reserve program. This is volunteer work that can give you valuable experience in law enforcement. Getting into a reserve program requires you to go through the same background investigation and meet the same standards as a full time officer does.

Trust your gut. Drug habits are tough. I'd recommend reaching out to some resources in your community that might be able to help you. You cannot make him quit, you can only protect yourself and your children (if you have any.) Good luck.
