Academy Question

FOR TEXAS OFFICERS.

I applied to the police academy at my community college since I already have my associates, how likely is it for them to still take me in?

I’m currently 18 and did my application for the academy. One of the questions was “have you ever committed embezzlement?” I answered yes.

I got let go on my first job for taking money from a customer. Following up to this incident, I had placed my 2 week notice but the management wasn’t letting me leave. I basically had to set myself up to leave because the people I worked with weren’t the best. I did check with HR and I’m eligible for re-hire with them.

Following up, I’ve been a great worker for about 4-5 different jobs.

I did catch a case with a class B misdemeanor of theft which got dismissed with no probation and no arrest.

I also had 2 criminal trespass warnings but those aren’t in my record (they expire) and a crash.

I know it sounds like a lot but deep down, I’m trying to do good, after that case dismissal, that’s when I really wanted to make a change. The only 2 big things are the case dismissal (petty theft) and the embezzlement from the first job (I have been a good employee everywhere else).
