Yes I read the applicants guide to getting hired and yes I read the sticky before posting
I've also done quite a bit of reading on here and have lurked for a few weeks but can't seem to find a direct answer so I'll ask the question that's been asked a million times and be "that guy"
I'm applying for a local pd and am mentally preparing for my background investigation and I have 3 things from my teenage years that might raise red flags.
Marijuana experimentation... Last time I smoked it I was 18, before that I was 16. Probably smoked it 10 times give or take 1 or 2. I honestly can't remember but it wasn't a whole lot.
Age 16 I did some graffiti over a period of a few months I wrote my moniker around my neighborhood and eventually just stopped doing it
Age 14 or 15 I shoplifted a few times, got caught by security and never did it again.
I have no police record except a 2 traffic tickets and one was dropped in court. One for riding in a truck bed and the other for speeding (dropped).
I have never used any hard drugs.
I am 21 in a few weeks.
Will any of this make me in eligible? From what I understand the vandalism and shoplifting would generally be minor offenses but I feel the quantity may be an issue.
As for the marijuana usage I heard 10 was the magic number but I may be mistaken.
Thank you and I apologize for the redundant repeat question.
