I can't speak for other agencies at all, but at mine and most of the ones I know in GA, **Any** history of drug sales, no matter how aged it may be, would be an automatic DQ.

There's also no way around lying about it either correct?

So I plan on beginning the whole process of becoming a police officer at a later date and  was wondering if I would be either DQ'ed or have a very hard time of being accepted due to the fact that at one time I had to sell marijuna for a short time so that my family members and I would be able to have gas money/food on the table. I couldn't get a normal job because at the time I had a life threatening condition that literally did not allow me too. I was receiving government assistance, it still was not enough though as no one else in my family was working and assistance was pretty much maxed out.

I certainly am not gonna go in to take the polygraph and lie about this but I wanted to know if I stand a chance to get hired?
