i have smoked pot, can i still become a police officer?

[colorockies123]

I am almost 21 years old and i have smoked pot, but it has been under 10 times in my life. The last time a smoked pot was a few months ago at a party. It was a stupid mistake. But before that, I had not smoked in years. I was wondering if I could still become a police officer?

Yes.


No.


Maybe.


Do a search. There is more info on the drug use topic than most others.

Read the sticky on the same subject.

You are # 1.000.000.000 with this question within the last month. It was your decision, smoking pot or becoming a LEO.

But there will be a chance that you will get hired at Murphy's Mart Security PD. Try this, if you want to wear a uniform, or join the military!!!!

Apply in 5 years and see what happens.

It was a stupid mistake.

That is a lie. A mistake is something you do not intend to do. You made a conscious choice to use an illegal drug, presumably while you profess a desire to enforce the law.

Poor decision making in your personal life is an indicator of probable poor decision making as a police officer.
