text: Hey, I am a Police Officer and have been for the last 19 years.\n\nPast drug usage will not stop you from becoming a Police Officer.  As long as you disclose your usage when asked, you will be fine.  If you have any in your past, they will find out during the background check.  So, just be honest.  If you have any further questions, e-mail me and I will help if I can.  \n\nGood luck.
