This will absolutely NOT affect you getting hired as a police officer. Actually, I commend you for going through what you have and coming out the way you did. From what you tell me, you have an excellent chance at becoming an officer.
You are not accountable for other people's actions, and it cannot be held against you.
I give your grandmother credit too, she raised a decent young man.
If you want to be a police officer, follow your dream. People say bad things on here about cops. Just remember, there are good and bad in everyone. It's a great job. If it's what you want, go for it. Worry about yourself and what you want to accomplish. You're on the right path.
Good luck. |

no, that has nothing to do with you, as long as you have good moral character.
if you become a police officer, be a representative of the people and not just a ********.

No - it won't affect you.
Just be honest about it in your background interview.
I had a partner who's brother was in prison for murder. It didn't affect his ability to get the job or do the job. |
