i want to be in law enforcement but can i is the question?

[Baggins920]

well i really want to be a cop, i've made a few mistakes in my life a few years back. i have been arrested and been on the other side. when i was 17 years old i was arrested for dwi. i spent ten weekends in jail,750 dollar fine. i have had two harrasment in the 2nd. they were totally bogus charges but i plead instead of going to trail...fast foward a few, i was in college for criminal justice, i have one completed semester in criminal justice, i took a summer semester off due to my daughter being born. i signed up for college an was ready to go back. aug 9 2007, a week before school, i was at the bar an made a really dumb decision, i drove again an got in a accident. no one was hurt an no one else was involved. i refuse a breath test and i resisted arrest. i got the dwi dropped, plead to resisting arrest. i got a fine an three years probation. i have been doing good on probation, complete my alcohol classes in two weeks, i wasn't labled dependent but i abused alcohol. no dirty urines. i am working in the laborers union, but i'm not happy doing it, i want to go back to school an continue my dream. but is it worth it or obtaining a degree in criminal justice or is it's a dream that won't happen. can i be in corrections or i'm pretty much done for? i'm 22 an want a good future now i have my head on strait. i'm a good person that made some mistakes.:(

You could very well be a good person, but you've made too many mistakes. The resisting arrest and the harassments would DQ you on my dept for sure. The DWI would just be the icing. Look for another career, sorry.

Your a lawsuit waiting to happen for a potential department. Choose another path.

An alcohol related incident and resisting arrest less than a year ago and WHILE you were taking classes with the intent to become a police officer?

I think your chances are next to none. Maybe in ten years, but probably never.

Not much to say but to mirror the previous advice - find another career, this one's not going to happen for you.

Seek another career path, you do not have a any chances in law enforcement. Sorry and good luck to you.

You didn't make mistakes , you made dumb choices if not intentional acts. . And as as been said, your past is was too " cloudy " for you to even think about getting into Law Enforcent.

You my think you are a " good " person but your background says otherwise and we cant take a gamble on whether or not you have finished with all of these life choices.

If it were'nt for tv shows like American Idol, I'd think this post was a joke... :rolleyes:

can i be in corrections or i'm pretty much done for? .:(

You'd never obtain a Peace Officer certification here. I have no idea if you could be a jailer, however I doubt it.

Maybe you guys can help me...I ONLY did a few things when I was younger, long time ago. When I was 16 I put on this darthvader looking mask, kid thing, you know. Then, I went into a bank and pulled out a .357 magnum and robbed the bank. I didnt really think it would work but boy, did they all jump to the ground and throw money at me. I think because I kept shaking the gun like it was going to go off at any time. Anyways, I only got like $123,143.00. After that I was good for at least 3 months, HONEST!

However, from Jan till Apr I was part of the Vader boys and did a few lil stupid things, you know like Theft, arson, murder (he had it coming) but I was never caught. Recently, I was in school after hours and got caught. I was charged with trespassing. My question is this,,,will the trespassing charge hurt my chances of being hired as a police officer? It was almost 2 months ago. Luckily I have this weed to smoke to ease my mind while the process is going on, or I don't know what I'd do.




Ok, the above is a joke. Why do people ask questions that are so over the line? HAHAHA
