My 27-year-old husband is thinking about going into law enforcement after serving as a Naval Officer. He had thyroid cancer last year and is fine now. He had his entire thyroid removed and now takes synthroid. Other than that, he is as healthy as can be. I know they check your medical background. Does anyone know if this would be a problem if he is trying to get a job as a police officer? We are going to check around here but just wondering if anyone knew. We are in So. Cal. Thanks!!!

honey in SO.California I'm sure they will take any kind of cop they can get and if he is fine then it really won't matter cops are a dying breed and they need them just like doctors they are taking doctors that aren't even finished with school and don't have all that good of grades you can be a house wife these days and apply at a school and be a teacher by the end of this week so they are making huge acceptions just like in the beginning no Gays in the military but now we are at war Bush will take them what kinda ish is that it is funny how the tables turn when people are needed so I'm sure your husband will be fine and we have cops in our area I don't even see how they fit in the police car more less chase anybody so if your hubby was in the Navy he is good to go ~~~Good Luck

Try Oakland Police Department. They are so hard-up they will take ex gang-bangers. A former Naval Officer would be a silver platter for any department.

The thyroid is not required to work as a police officer.

It will be a maybe, I am sure some departments that have 100 applicants for every one position may get that picky.
The main thing he wants to do is apply to maybe 30 or more departments to get some interviews to get to that point.

It may be a consideration for future problems. The best thing is to find out the requirements with the department he is applying for.

You already asked this question a couple of days ago??
If you didn't get the right answer or enough why don't you go talk to a police dept recruiter.

I don't think that should be much of a problem, but it does depend on your state. I'm a cop in Wisconsin.
