| Posted almost 6 years ago Don't know. Only a Dr can tell you that. It may or may not be a disqualifying medical condition. What happens if you miss your medication?

| Posted almost 6 years ago what little i do know about schizoaffective disorder is enough to know that if you really want to do for you;re fellow man then do not get into law enforcement.. in my state you cannot own a gun if you have been diagnosed with those types of disorders..........if you're doctor knows anything he/she should have told you that. |

| Posted almost 6 years ago if you can, i would like to know how old you are now and when they discovered the first symptom. . correct me if im wrong it has been about 8 years since i had to talk with a person with that type of condition, but there is no cure, just treatment. you might not be able to become a cop but you might be able to help the cops understand how to deal with someone with that type if condition. |

| Posted almost 6 years ago Best idea is to ask a recruiter at the LEO agency you are interested in. I can tell you that schizoaffective disorder would keep you from most federal LE jobs.

| Posted almost 6 years ago I just took the CIT class this week. Still hearing voices, stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down....... Very eye opening class, the things people have to deal with on a daily basis on top of the bills, kids, spouse, etc...
