I recently got caught with weed and they gave me a court date. As of my understanding it was just a misdemeanor. Ive always wanted to become a police officer and i know it will hurt my chances but iv'e read elsewhere that you can still get in. So, do i have a chance?

The job of Police Officer is generally a position within a municipality. Each municipality has guidelines that determines the maximum age at which a man or woman may enter the police force, so no one answer will be correct. Check with an individuals city's hiring practices.
Most Police departments require the applicant to be 21 years old. The applicant has to pass physical and mental exams and go through a "boot" camp style of training. Many departments have junior police groups where you can do ride alongs etcetera to see if you'd like to become an officer. At 13 many are shy, I am sure as you grow older and become a bit more sure of yourself you could make a fine Police Officer. regards, Andromeda
