Laws vary from state to state. Factors that would be considered is how many debts are listed, how old are they, and when and what type of bacnkrutcy was filed. You need to admit up front you have had financial problems and be ready to show a plan for how you are addressig it. Bad credit would raise a red flag in almost police hiring process-they don't want people whose personal lives are unmanagable or might be tempted to steal while on the job.Read the Faur Credit Reporting Act to see what you can do about notifying the credit reporting agenices about any disputed acccounts. Most of all be honest. They will find out anyway.

It will make it very hard. They might let you apply, but you will be put at the end of the list and probably never get hired on. They will choose someone who's credit history shows they were responsible and good decision makers. Sorry

Im a little bit shy could i still become a police officer i am now 13 years old and i would love to be a poilceofficer when I'm older?

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
