Yes, depending on the severity of the misdemeanor and what it involves. I also believe you must be cleared of any felonies for over a number of years.
It's better to contact the person in charge as it can vary.
Typically those misdemeanors that involves moral turpitude (crimes that have a reflection on who you are as a person that show character flaws) such as theft, prostitution, sexual offenses, impersonation of a police officer, fraud, drug selling etc. Most departments will also factor in if your misdemeanor would be a liability to hire you. If you were convicted of misdemeanor reckless endangerment for example, a police department could hesitate to hire you due to negligent hiring liability. Also, any misdemeanor that has an element of domestic violence with the circumstances (Feds say you cannot possess a firearm if convicted of any domestic violence charge and therefore you cannot be a police officer). Keep in mind each depart has its own threshold for what it will and will not accept as a misdemeanor. The good news is misdemeanor convictions do not typically preclude one from a profession in law enforcement. If you pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor that was reduced from an original felony, you may be disqualified because agencies view this as you having committed "felonious conduct" that was just amended.
Depends on what the misdemeanor was and how long ago. If it is violent, sexually based or drug related you can probably forget about getting hired.
Yes
Added: MAYBE. Depending on the agency, it may depend on the type and the severity of the original offense.

An officer doesn't "give" you a misdemeanor. They charge you with an offense for a crime that is classified by your state legislature AS a misdemeanor. Meaning it is an offense which, if you are convicted, you could be fined up to $1,000. and/or placed in jail for up to one year.
No.
It is possible to become a social worker with a misdemeanor on your record, but it may depend on the severity of the offense and the specific licensing requirements in your state. Some states may conduct background checks and assess the nature of the offense before granting a social work license. It is recommended to research the specific licensing requirements in your state and be prepared to disclose any criminal history during the application process.
Yes a security officer will definitely pay less than a police officer. As a security officer you are not required to get your criminal justice degree; however becoming a police officer requires one.
You got the same powers as a police officer, If you looking on becoming a full time police officer being a special constable helps because you already part of the police force
