Find answers to your legal question.





Can I get a job as a police officer?

I'm thinking of a career change at the moment, and I'd really like to be a police officer, I have just two things that might hold me back though:

1) I'm partially deaf in one ear
2) 4.5yrs ago I received a police caution for criminal damage (I promise I'm not a chav).

Will these two things prevent me from working for the police in the UK?

what is a chav?
well my aunt is fully blind and mostly deaf, and she works at a hardware store, so i think that if she can work, adn not be able to see anything..
so i think that if you really put your mind to it you could.. but then again i live in CA, US.. so i could be wrong..


Pimpcash
yeah! go for it! I had a friend who was once a convicted felon become a police officer.

i honestly have no idea im sorry. hope everything goes well for you, if you really want to be a police officer, don't give up on your dream, and work hard towards it and it may happen

Here in the US, to be a cop you must pass a physical agility test and psychological test. I think you should be good to go.

No! Your not allowed! Criminal record exempts you!

You'll be fine.
Today in the UK to be a police officer there's only one requirement, that your parents are not married. Just lie if you have to.
My cousin is a "constable" and he can barely read or write.

the ear problem might be a hindrance

Wow...I hope not. In my County all they need is a GED not even a high school diploma..can have multiple misdemeanor's even Battery charges, minor drug possession,
and DUI..Drunk Driving. Then they give these people tazers, guns, and cars. No wonder we have so much police brutality.
I think UK has higher standards than USA... It can't hurt to apply.

Why not apply and see, the selection procedure is very difficult, but if you are physically fit and have a good education, you will have a chance.

I think you have to pass a medical - you do to become a PCSO so I assume it will be the same. As for point number 2, all you can do is try. It was only a caution!

One the record would take you out of the running but worst of all the hearing would be the big bug bear.

Imagine a top solicitor gets winds of your hearing problem and your statement is based on what you heard all he needs to do is proven reasonable that what you heard was not what was actually said guy walks free.

if you dont have a criminal record you can be just about anything you want to be but if you have one you can not be no cop sorry
