becoming a police officer

Re: becoming a police officer
Would you like to cite the Federal law that applies to sheriff and other police departments, as opposed to Federal officers. Most of the States have a law which gives the eligibility for a police officer in that State, and the officers are State not Federally certified. Colorado comes to mind as one of the few States which has no citizenship requirement for police officers.

If this is not the case, and there are no major "skeletons in the closet" then all you need do is ensure you keep your nose clean until then!

Re: becoming a police officer
I know you have mentioned a couple of times in your posts about their ability (CPD) to do a background check on your UK background, is there something that may be of concern there? If so, this (whatever it may be) may hinder you actual visa application. Just because you a married to a USC does not guarantee you a path to permanent residency.

Re: becoming a police officer
I was just looking at the use of marijuana and becoming a police officer... most police departments just require you to have not used marijuana for certain period of time E.g 3 years
