To be considered for employment you must meet the following standards:
•U.S. Citizen.
•Uncorrected vision not worse than 20/200, provided there has been at least six months success wearing soft contact lenses. Without soft contact lenses, uncorrected vision cannot be worse than 20/100. In any case, vision must be correctable to 20/20.
•At least 21 years of age at date of academy graduation and at least 20 years old at date of application.
•High school graduate or possess a valid G.E.D. certificate recognized by the Commonwealth of Virginia
•Possess a valid operator’s license at time of appointment.
•Illegal drug use will be reviewed with respect to recent use, type of drug and frequency of use.
•Never been convicted of a felony or serious misdemeanor. Involvement in past criminal activity will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
•Good character and reputation
•Ability to perform essential job functions with or without a reasonable accommodation
I'd also strongly recommend some remedial English for you, because you'd be surprised at how much writing is involved in a police officer's job, and they laugh at misspellings like "dose" and "commutiy" just as much as we on FFXU do.
