Your size shouldn't prevent you from getting a police officer job. Regardless of size, officers should have good communication skills, they should be as physically fit as they can, they should be well trained in officer survival skills and tactics, and should know when and how to use their equipment. Getting police officer jobs is becoming more and more competitive. Do whatever you can to make yourself the best candidate that you can do. For example, consider getting a college degree if you don't have one, don't do anything illegal, maintain a good reputation, keep a good driving record, don't get bad credit, improve all of your communication skills as much as possible, and become as physically fit as you can. How well you do on written tests and during interviews can be very important when trying to get police officer jobs. Make sure to prepare for any tests and interviews. Consider local, state, and federal jobs.

Way back in the day some police departments used to have height requirements. That was before the days of female police officers.
Once departments started hiring females they pretty much got rid of height and weight requirements- but requirements can vary greatly from department to department.

There shouldn't be for that would be discriminate, it is not the size of the person that is respected but the uniform. If you are 5'3" I think you should be ok providing you meet the other physical requirements, male of female.
