Can you become a police officer if you had counselling as a kid?

Question

I had counselling when I was a teenager and my dream job is to become a police officer. Can I still become a police officer even though I had counselling?

Answer

Yes you can still become an officer. Their major concern is if you have a criminal record. It is common for people to have mental health issues whether it be anger management or anxiety. You went to counciling, meaning you were trying to fix a problem. No shame in that and no it won't stop you,
