I've read a bunch of posts on here about departments asking for parents names and SS#'s and whatnot. My question is, how does my parent's past effect me?
This is why I ask. About 20 years ago, when I was 6 my father got arrested for possesion of controlled substances, needles, with intent to distribute. AND he was a CO. But I've been completely clean my entire life except for 1 traffic ticket 10 years ago when I was 16. I learned from my father's behavior and knew I never wanted to be like him, hell he is one of the main reasons I want to get into LE.
Im sure they will find this out on background checks, so how bad will it hurt me?
Thanks in advance
