Can a Midget become a police?

I don’t see why not.
I’m sure there’s a height issue here with the force!
Most police forces dropped the height requirement ages ago. As long as you could pass the physical test then yes you can qualify to become a police officer.
I think that the police have a certain height requirement for all applicants. So little people wouldn’t be able to get into the academy, neither would people who are just short in stature.
I’m not a midget but I am short 4 ft 11 1/2 inches to be exact. I always wanted a career in Law Enforcement however I have yet to find a Department yet where I meet the minimum height requirement.
yeah it is possible
No I don`t think they meet requirements in height to become a policeman.
Many employers have what is called a BFOQ, or bonafide occupational qualification. This means that if an employer feels that there is a physical or mental attribute that is necessary to perform a job, then they can only hire people that meet those qualifications.
In the case of midgets or dwarves joining a police force, that would depend on the department. I would guess that, because of their height, the cars would have to be modified, and people might not take them seriously. Also, they might have difficulty overtaking a suspect. So, for these reasons, I would have to believe that midgets or dwarves cannot become a police officer.
I don’t think a midget could become a police officer because the patrol cars would not be modified for his reach. Other than that, I cannot see a reason why not.
As for Leiland Chapman’s wife to be, at 4′11.5, she is plenty tall to become an officer. I know of other female officers who are just abotu that tall or maybe a touch shorter. In most departments in Texas, the height requirement was removed years ago, as a result of it being discriminatory against both females and certain races. If you want to be a cop, come on down here and you are welcome. We always need good people.
