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.

Reasons vary. Some jurisdictions require a police response. Other times, medical responders might request law enforcement due to potential problems or safety concerns. Police officers typically have some level of medical training, so they might be dispatched to the scene to help render aid until paramedics can respond. In some jurisdictions, officers are cross trained as paramedic/firefighters.

I'm not sure what you mean by "using her sister's officer position as a shield." Regardless, it would appear you need to find another girlfriend.

I don't know, but NY and NJ sure do like to tell people what to do. It seems just living is either illegal or nearly taxed to death in those states. You should probably check with the local jurisdiction.

Most agencies will look for a significant period of time between your last use of an illegal substance and the current time. One to two years is not enough time for most departments. I would strongly suggest joining the military or attending college. By the time you finish your service or obtain your degree, you will have been clean for 5+ years, which puts you in a much better position.
If the nerve damage isn't debilitating in some way (can you still lift heavy things, run, have a strong grasp, etc.), it shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure you disclose that before you take a pre-employment physical. I imagine the bullet will show up on the x-rays.

Maybe. Consider, however, that your lack of experience may have an impact on your credibility both with the agencies you are providing training to and to the courts when you and they are sued for wrongful use of force. (Yes - even when you do everything correctly, you will get sued and have to defend yourself in court.)
