Honorable discharges are legitimate for any job, including law enforcement agencies.
That being said, if you were discharged for incompetent or illegal actions, the police may recognize and disqualify you for that.

A Honorable Discharge
Depends on the individuals Commander. In most cases an honorable discharge is given.
No, "honorable" and "under honorable conditions" are not the same. "Honorable" typically refers to a discharge status that reflects exemplary service, while "under honorable conditions" indicates a discharge that is generally positive but may involve some minor issues that prevent it from being classified as fully honorable. The distinction can affect benefits and perceptions of a service member's record.
An honorable discharge can, on rare occasions, be granted to a former service member (whose service was characterized as less than honorable) as an act of clemency, should that person display exemplary post-service conduct and show evidence of outstanding post-service achievement in areas such as education and employment.
No, typically you cannot receive an honorable discharge after being AWOL (Absent Without Leave). AWOL status can lead to disciplinary actions, including a general or other-than-honorable discharge. However, if circumstances surrounding the AWOL are considered mitigating, it may be possible to receive a different type of discharge, but it usually requires a review process. Each case is evaluated individually based on the specific circumstances and the service member's overall record.
If you are referring to an Honorable Discharge from the military after having been convicted of reckless driving - I would say your chances are probably pretty good if the rest of your military service was exemplary. At the very least you might receive a General DIscharge Under Honorable Conditions.
You can always re-enlist with an honorable discharge. Also, being gay is no longer an issue.

Since the repeal of DADT, Don't ask, don't tell, they get a regular honorable discharge as long as they serve their enlistment and don't get in trouble. Just being Gay is no longer a reason to be discharged.
No. If you commit a crime as a civilian after you've been separated from the military, it has no impact on your discharge. Not that it really matters - you get convicted for a capital crime, no discharge is going to better your life after prison, assuming you eventually get paroled.
