Just explain yourself and hope for the best. It is a huge hurdle, because the problem they are going to have is this: Are you going to be mentally capable to deal with situations such as abused and dead children, dead bodies, gruesome murders, child rape and kidnappings? It is these things and many more that only police officers get to see as a "normal" part of their job. They are going to ask themselves if this person gets anxiety from family issues, can he effectively perform his duties in these situations? Can he remain calm and not get anxiety when a man twice his size is trying to kill him? How will he react when someone is shooting at him? These are all questions that they will ask themselves, and you will have to convince them that you are capable. Bottom line is as an officer, if you are a danger to yourself, you will also be a danger to your co-workers and the public. Also, whatever department you apply to, will conduct their own psychological exam, and it might be tailored to your own experiences. Good luck to you.<br><b>References : </b><br> It will be brought up during a background investigation interview with you. Just explain yourself and hope for the best.

Anyway bootcamp is designed to create anxiety so if the Air Force kicked you out for anxiety issues they probably saw something pretty significant. So you don't think the stresses of being a police are going to effect you the same way? I wouldn't hire you.<br><b>References : </b><br> Funny how you think that paying for something you want, by yourself should describe your level of dedication but I guess that’s where the mentality of Americans is now.
