This will be the toughest part about getting into law enforcement. I have a buddy who has applied for jobs in several police/sheriff departments, and he is getting grilled because he said he smoked weed several years ago.
Like was posted above me, the psychological evaluation is going to weigh heavily on whether you will be considered for any more tests. You see a lot of [censored] when you're on the streets, and then you begin to realize why cops are the way they are.
Another major factor in how a department will decide on hiring you, is how well you can control a situation. Just think about how you would handle a domestic dispute. You need to be able to get the drunk redneck wife beater plus his drunk redneck wife to STFU without touching/threatening them, and without sounding like a total pussy.
