my husband is schedules to take his first exam this month and i have some questions.

His back ground is a factor that im afraid will stop him from becoming a officer
He has had 2 dui's both 5 years ago
He has past drug use almost over 5 years ago but he was never in trouble for drugs.
Since then he is now fully sober and wants to make this change in his life since getting married and having a child. He is applying for a department that is looking for a ton of new officers,, does he stand a chance????????????

It really depends on the police department. Two DUI convictions about 5 years ago would disqualify him with some police departments. What department does he want to work for?

DepShawn is correct. Police departments often have different standards from one another. It could also depend on what drugs he used and how often he used them, etc., etc.

he is applying for the city of oakland ca in the bay area.

there was a combination of drugs used but all have stopped for the past 5 years there was never any convictions for drug use just dui
