Thanks for all the email and questions received Reader Questions: Becoming a Cop with a past Drug History I live in California and i understand that most agencies require a polygraph test pre-hire. My question is i am 22 and have used marijuana a few months at a time for the past 2 yrs, my estimate is maybe a total of 6 months altogether in 2 years, am i automatically disqualified. Because i wanted to start the academy which doesn’t begin for 8 months and the course is 10 months long so i will of be cleaned for 18 months is there any way i can get hired or am i wasting my time. any information will be appreciated. Thank you for your time. Asked by Mike Metering Lights and Cameras Are you aware whether the freeway on-ramp metering lights in California have cameras to flash your car’s picture if you accidentally run the light? I don’t believe I’ve ever seen this information posted, but I know I saw a flash happen… Thanks for any info you can provide - Asked by Debra Respect: I am turning 21 this year. I have attended University for 2 years but have decided that I want to stop with my associates degree for the time being and join the Local Police Dept. My question to you is: Do you get respect as a young police officer? From fellow cops? From the civilians? I personally could not care less about whether or not some gang banger likes getting a ticket from a guy his age, but I am however concerned with the people I work with. And if you have any tips…they would be much appreciated. Thank you for all you do and keep it up. Asked by Hunter Drinking Age Do you think the drinking age should be lowered? Why or why not? - Asked by Dakota Story of the Week: Car Burglaries are off the hook! Website Stitcher.com
