flukey-lukey Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I've been looking into changing careers and becoming a police officer recently as I'm extremely bored with my job and need somthing which is a bit more 'stimulating'. After reading the application processes and requirements on the website I noticed that it says people who have been convicted of crimes will not get past the application stage (as you would expect) now this might be a problem for me... *15 yrs old - arrested for possesion of an offensive weapon (cautioned and told it would be off my record when I turned 18) *19 yrs old - arrested for Drunk and Disordely (recieved £80 fixed penalty and a lousy breakfast ) *20 yrs old - Arrested (drunk in town centre) for public disorder offence/fighting, bailed for 2 weeks, no conviction but a nasty dressing down and a formal final caution. I regret all the things I have done, but take full responsibility for my actions and feel that since these incidents I have grown up a hell of a lot! So, sorry about the long post but is there any chance of me being accepted if I am completely honest about all of this and show how willing I am to make a difference? (I know pistonbroke is a policeman so it'll be interesterd to hear what he thinks??) thanks for reading, Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
