I have a question preferably for someone from the State of Florida. I have been sworn police officer for 5 years, some of that experience I was a Detective and handled a variety of cases including homicides. I recently got into some serious trouble when my own police department showed up for a welfare check of my girlfriend. Can't go into details, but i ended up getting charged with two felonies and two misdemeanors, domestic violence. All charges are false and even my girlfriend is on my side. Have a good lawyer and will get everything dropped but could take a year or so. Basically the cops railroaded me becuz they wanted me gone from the PD. Ive never been in trouble before, never even been written up for anything. And I was a supervisor for the PD. I have no convictions and dont plan on getting one from this either. I know they do a background check with FDLE and FBI. Is it even worth my time to try and apply? Or will i get denied just because of the pending charges? help!

You will definitely be denied the License until the pending charges are dropped or you are found not guilty by a court. Even though one is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty, this in fact is not the way things work. I could site you lots of cases, but I think it would just confuse the issue.
