Currently I'm in college playing baseball and pursuing a bachelors with the only intention to go into law enforcement as my father was an LEO for 17 years and worked task force for the DEA for a few years, the only reason I am going into college is to give myself time to mature and obtain a degree to be a more competitive candidate at a larger agency that I desire. But my question is do you believe I still have a legitimate shot at going to a larger more competitive agency after graduating college (as I know many start off at a smaller agency and work up to a large department) as I have made some mistakes in the past when it comes to experimenting with illicit substances as I graduated high school in Colorado. Although I've never been ticketed, arrested, or even in any legitimate trouble with law enforcement or any trouble even during school. I am still worried because of the amount of times I experimented in high school as I believe it may give room to question my character, obviously I will not try to cover or deceive my past in any application phase and I have abstained from any use of substances since besides occasionally drinking and using a fraudulent ID at bars. Do you believe it is enough to become a large issue when I start applying in the future? Like I'm aware you can look this up specifically for some departments and see how many times using a certain substance will qualify as "experimental" or "habitual" use but have you heard of anyone with a similar story? (For the record I only experimented never distributed).
