My husband really wants to attend our local police academy but he kind of had a breakdown when he was younger and spent some time in the hospital. No drug use involved whatsoever! Could he still be accepted, and get hired somewhere?
can you join the police academy with past mental heath issues?

Can a Soldier get to police force with misdemeanors?
September 9th, 2009Well I am a soldier that is getting out of my second tour of iraq. I spent 4 years in the army and i am getting out as a specialist (E-4) rank. I have no article 15’s and no bad record in military. I am getting out with a associates degree in general studies. I am 24 years old fit. My only problem is that I got arrested for a class A misdemeanor and a class B. Class A was UCW(unlawfully carrying a weapon) which i got out of it due to the traveling law in texas. Also my class B was a DWI. which i only had a 180 fine. This was in travis county texas. I am wondering if I have any chance joining the police for in california or texas or any police force because it was always my dream…….

Where was Police Academy set and filmed?
September 8th, 2009Caught the original Police Academy on Comedy Central, some of the locations looked interesting. Does anyone know where it was filmed?
Curious to know where it was supposed to be set too.
Should we pull our police and firefighters off the force?
September 6th, 2009Why should they risk their lives and die at the hands of criminals and arsonists? By having police on the streets, are we emboldening criminals? Should we make nice with criminals and maybe they will leave us alone? Is there a Cindy Sheehan-like group of moms I can join to protest the police force and bring our sons and daughters off the force? My nephew is a cop and I don’t want him to be killed. I support policemen but I don’t support what they’re doing because they are provoking criminals.
Please read twice and absorb the rhetoric…
Pink_Angel, I think you have to go back and read it 3 or 4 or 5 or more times. You TOTALLY don’t get it!!!
mattcoz, you have forgotten…we WERE attacked, and I don’t think our military servicepeople appreciate their mission being refered to as hootin’ and hollerin’–thanks for the laugh YOU JERK.
AD/HD, ADD, ADHD, Police Force Delima; Help?
September 4th, 2009So recently,
I went to the doctor/psychiatrist and was diagnosed with Adult AD/HD, and an anexiety disorder, and small motor tics, bearing, from both of thew above.
The delima I’m having, which I need your help with is; I am intending on joining the Victoria Police Force, but, from what I have been told, if you are diagnosed with AD/HD, there is a good chance that you would not be able to be a police officer, instead, the Police psychiatrist will decide upon testing if you are a valid applicant or not.
They take into account any medication you are also on, etc.
So, the question is; Do I go on the medication- Ritalin, and the other medications to which I have been subscribed, which will result in me hopefully being fixed up in cirtain time peroid, thus, risking non-entry into the Police Force… OR… do I just leave it all togeather; the Medication, and hope that when it comes to the police medical, all will be good….??
@Blue.
Cheers for the responces. I’m currently just finishing up on my second year at Uni; Criminal Justice, but was unsure to wheather I am waisting my time, in accordance to completing this course, another year, and being rejected from the Police Force, but, your right, things can change overtime, and people do get better. I’ll keep going with this, and bare it out. =)
Can one with bad credit still be accepted in to a police academy?
August 29th, 2009I messed up my credit at a really young age. I wanted to attempt to test into a police academy. But I read somewhere that having bad credit lessens ones opportunities in being accepted. Can an individual with bad credit still become a cop ? Aren’t other factors weighed as well?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am hoping to test for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department before the summer is out. But I think I may not be able to become a cop because of dumbness on my part in my youth.

Design and Technology

Fire Fighters, Police Force and The Military? Please Anwser?
August 26th, 2009Now this is a complicated Question!
Ok when Im 18 years Old I plan On joining The United States Army, and after those 4 years go into college and get a degree in Criminal Justice, from the go in to the Army again and TRY to join the Special Forces, From there I want to be either a Cop Or a State Trooper, but I also want to be a Fire Fighter. From what I have heard An Officer can be a part time Fire fighter and a Fire Fighter can be a part time officer.
Just Like the Police force the fire fighters have their own specialized Units. Do Troopers have that as well? If So what are they? What are the differences between Police Officers and State Trooper what are the benefits? And If you can post any other Info that would be great. Also what is Special Tactics and Weapons and what do They Do? what are there benefits?
Does having Military Training help at all?
Basically this is what I want to Do.
HighSchool- JROTC.
4 years Military, 4 years College, 4-6 Years Special Forces.
Job-Police Officer Part time Fire Fighter.
