I am seeking a career in Law Enforcement, I have no prior arrests, but I have been in a detox program twice. (i am 30yrs old) I was on drugs for about 8 months, till I became clean (over a year now) How will this affect me wanting a job in Law Enforcement?
Thank you for any feedback!

It depends on the duration of drug usage and the classification of drugs used. It varies among departments. Some have a rigid limit of experimental usage of certain drugs (marijuana comes to mind), while other drugs may disqualify for a single instance of usage (I'm thinking of LSD).
Like a lot of things this is sort of a grey area, and you should check with the departments you'd like to work for before making a major sacrifice for a career you may not be able to obtain.
