In this day ands age virtually ALL law enforcement agencies carefully screen their applicants both physically and psychologically. If you are currently being monitored and/or are under treatment with medication for your PTSD, it is highly doubtful that you would pass a Psych screening. However, if your PTSD episodes were in the past AND you are able to pass both the psych test and the interview, you might be considered for employment. It is entirely up to the discretion of the individual agency.

As a further FYI; provisions of the ADA generally do not apply to sworn (ie.: armed) law enforcement positions.
