Hi my name is Josh. I used to be in a police academy in Florida, but due to family issues and the fact that I wasn't sure I was ready maturity wise for this career, I dropped out with 8 weeks to go in a part time academy. I quit without any kind of notice and I do regret quitting. Will this prevent me from ever becoming a police officer? I want to be a cop more than anything.

Were you paying to attend the academy or was a department paying for you. Either way, it shouldn't prevent you from ever becoming a police officer. However, if you were paying your tuition, it won't look as bad!

It could prevent you from getting hired by some departments, but it won't necessarily prevent you from ever becoming an officer.

It shouldn't.
