What are my chances?

[colin42]

Hi everyone!

I am curious about some of your opinions concerning my chances in Law Enforcement. I am a junior at a credited university, double majoring in criminal justice and business accounting with a gpa of 3.6. I am on the criminal justice student association board as well. I have absolutely nothing on my record. Although, I did smoke marijuana my junior year of high school. It was only a small phase, but I consider it more than experimental (haven't since). It was a big mistake that I reflect and learn from. I will graduate in the next two years. What do you think my chances are of pursuing a career as an LEO when I graduate? Thanks ahead of time!

It will depend on the department. You may or may not have a chance. Even if you do have a chance, you still will compete against those with no drug use.
