transitioning while working as a police officer questions

[Gadgett]

Any know how well transitioning while working as a police office goes?

I'm about to take the physical test to begin the process of becoming a police officer because my spouce and me could use the insurance, plus i alwyas wanted to help people. So my question is since its a givernment job how well can one transition? Any thoughts or stories would be apprciated.

I have no idea how well it'll work (it may depend on where you live), but your own identity will make you a strong asset on the force, able to professionally handle issues most others will struggle with (even if they're well-meaning).

I know it can be done. There's a transgender woman who's a police officer in Kansas City. Let me see if I can find a link.

Here it is!

There's other things I could find about it... but they varied greatly depending on who was commenting. So for what it's worth: It is possible. Probably difficult, but possible.

There's a police officer in Oklahoma City who transitioned while working. I think Santa Fe division. News did a big story as did all of the major networks. OCPD kept her and as far as I know she is still on the force.
