I got Cs and Ds all through high school. Will that hurt my chances of getting hired by a police department? There isn't anything else I want to do for a career other than be a police officer.

Your high school grades might not affect your chances of getting hired by a police department too much, especially if you get a college degree. You should get a degree. Having a degree can help you get hired. Your college transcripts are usually more important than your high school grades.

CPL is correct, but if you are in high school, you should get the best grades you can. Having good grades looks good, and having good grades can help you get into college. You definitely should get a college degree if you want to become a police officer.

Don't get too caught up in worrying about your high school grades. Just worry about what you can do now. Good luck

I got pretty lousy grades in high school. I wish I would've applied myself more. It would've helped me. I was still able to become a police officer though. I did go to college after high school.

That's right Axle. Remember kids, you only get to do each grade once- unless you fail of course. Do the best you can. You can't go back and do it again
