Lol go ahead.

your urine should definately be clean, but a hair test can reveal THC up to a year after your consumption


Triumph
Yes

I know of a guy who smoked up to 30 days before going in for his test and he's been an officer now for years


smileyybabyy

It's more like do you have a criminal record? If you smoked weed and never gotten in trouble for it why would you be worried 6 months later?

well i don't know bout the legal stuff but if you mean if you should then TOTALLY!!! i mean if you had the will power to quit then you know how you can help others while your on the force.


Kevy
More importantly than can you become a police officer is can you really be trusted to enforce the law if you habitually broke it? You will have to show any potential employers that you have moved on from that part of your life, and 6 months might not be long enough.


nickipettis
depends on the jurisdiction. different laws in different places.

yes, I can tell you other reassuring things; such as I did. But the simple answer is just an emphatic yes.

It depends on the department. What have you done to improve your life since then? Have you gone to school? Obtained a job with high responsibility? It all factors in. I would talk to a recruiter in your area and get their impute.

well only if its not on your record if it was then you can never be a police officer although that will be an interview question and if you tell the truth you're done for

yeah, all of the traces of weed leave your body after 31 days dude. apply and see how you do. you smoking weed six months ago isn't going to affect your chances in the slightest way.

if you havent been busted your good to go if you have well.......


ianperry95
if you have got caught, no if not yes

shave your head and arm-pits and you can. but i would let the arm-pit hair grow back a little first.


edphillipdoles
yes so long as you was never charged with any crimes. pass all background investigations, drug tests, and polygraph

no


babyblue
that depends on thier policy,,, just be truthful about the amount of times you have smoked it,,,


meep!
You better be completely honest with them about it. As long as you tell them everything you have nothing to worry about...but they will tell you when you are ready. Not us.

By the way, 6 months of not weed smoking isn't that long in the grand scheme of things.

Ok fine give me thumbs down but one of my best friends is gonna be a cop and he had the lie detector test and YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM EVERYTHING. If they find out you will not ever ever ever be accepted. That is just the truth. They want you to be honest. They know that not everyone is perfect. It would unreasonable to only hire people who have never tried drugs because most teenagers don't think.."hmm maybe i should't smoke this weed incase i wanna be a cop"
