    Question Do I have a shot at being a Police Officer?

    I am 21 years old and a sophomore in college getting my A.A.S in Criminal Justice-Law Enforcement. I plan to take about 70 hours and plan to Internship with a local Academy next summer, so I will be P.O.S.T certified, before I apply.

    I have three things that I'm afraid might hurt me and I'd like some opinions if they would?

    My first one is that I dated a girl in 2006 whose parents tried to get a Stalking Protection Order against me. I proved in court that I did nothing wrong and that the parents were lying. The Order was dismissed but it still shows in civil records that I was taken to court for "STALKING", it looks very bad IMO.


    My second concern is that I was fired from Home Depot around 2006, for wearing their orange apron to a sandwich shop next door while I was on a 15 minute break (not clocked out).

    Third is that I have one and only one ticket for 43 in a 25.



    I know the second sounds trivial but I'm just worried.

    I see no dealbreakers there. Relax, and good luck.
