Want to become a police officer

Good morning!

I'm currently studying criminal justice. I want to get my associates degree.

I want to know how hard it would be for me to become a police officer?

I don't have a criminal record. My credit isn't in the best right now because I had to use my cards to help pay bills because my fiance has terminal cancer. Working on getting it back to good standing.

I work multiple jobs. Some for over 20 years. My employment history probably wasn't good 10 years ago because I had to find work that paid more to pay my bills and I had to take some low paying jobs to get by. Most of my jobs have dealt with medical or animal related and a few retail jobs.

I'm a 45 year old female.

No drug use ever.

I have low hearing in my left ear from having issues as a baby. I don't really notice anything.

Any advice or suggestions?
