I’m not sure of everywhere, but here in KY most are sworn LEOs and work for the Sheriff’s Office. I’m sure it varies in other places, so you might want to check specifically in your jurisdiction. Have you considered becoming a public safety telecommunicator? Might scratch some the itch to serve the community.

I mean, you’re gonna have to face the fact that LE has a pretty poor track record when it comes to disabled people. In my own experience, I had a cop forcibly try to take my white cane away from me. It was unprovoked and I spent a night in jail for fighting back. They tried to charge me with assaulting an officer and one of the cops there testified in court that he would have been justified shooting me because I was carrying a weapon (the “weapon” being my white cane).

Not that I’m rooting against you, I think more disabled people working in law enforcement would be an improvement. I hope you can find a position, but just brace yourself, cops aren’t always very kind to blind folks.
