Well I have held steady employment over the years but I have been let go from two of my jobs.... And I know this sounds like an excuse but I feel it wasn't my fault completely.. And due to this I have been unemployed and have developed bad credit.. I am a good citizen never been arrested. Never been in trouble with the law. I have good references but what are my chances?? please help me Smile

Depends. Apply with some large city departments.

Yeah I'm actually in the hiring process for the LAPD.

Having bad credit used to hurt your chances more than it does today. It can still be an issue but I think a lot more people have bad credit than they did a few years ago.

Get a job if you don't have one. Stick with it. Do what you can to reduce your debt and improve your credit. If you have a bad work record, really bad credit, and too much debt, it could be very difficult for you to get a police officer job.
