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.
Ask me a serious question.

I don't know why you would call the police for "noise and construction violations." If the neighbor is playing the stereo too loud, I'll just walk over and talk to him. If he is building something on his property that I don't like - well, that's my problem. It is HIS property and he can do what he wants to with it. Try talking to your neighbor and not calling the police for non-criminal matters.

Getting up early, cooking, cleaning and taking care of a family member are not abuse. If there is some type of actual abuse going on, he needs to contact the local law enforcement agency.

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.

How sanitary are the pedicure basins really?
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.)
