I have applied for the Georgia Police department but have smoked Marijuana in the past. Will this affect me?

I have applied to the Georgia Police department and I'm in the background investigation process. I have used Marijuana in the past, mostly high school, on seven occasions. I was also arrested when I was 17 but the charges were dismissed. I am now 19 years old, a high school graduate and I am taking some college courses. I have no felony or Misdemeanor convictions on my record, not even a traffic violation. The arrest on my record is in the expungement process. Will my past errors affect my eligibility to become a police officer in Georgia?

If you're honest you should be okay. They're actually more worried about your credit than your pot smoking past if you can believe that. Just be totally honest - and you will be taking a polygraph.

What's the George PD? Is George a city somewhere? The state of George doesn't have a police department so where is this?

It depends on if you have to take a lie detector test. Make sure you always tell them the truth. If you haven't done it in years you should be okay if you have to take a drug test. If you have no actual convictions they should be able to hold it against you.
