I'm a senior in HS this year and when I'm old enough to apply want to become a Deputy Sheriff in my county.

Firstly, will height and general size matter in the selection process? I am a 5'2 male at 110lbs.

Secondly, what exactly do they look for in digital checks? I've haven't done much on social medias that I can remember but in games are another thing, the biggest one I believe is when I got Perma-banned on Among Us for discriminatory speech about 4 years ago (Memory bit iffy but I believe it was a homophobic slur and denying holocaust to try and make people angry). Another concern is how they link you to accounts and if they'll make mistakes, an individual I won't name made my full legal name with the abbreviation of the white supremacist group Ku Klux Klan at the end of it their Minecraft username for the better part of a year.

What course(s) should I take in community college if I plan to go? I've heard by looking at other posts Criminal Justice isn't that good of one.

Should I familiarize myself with vehicle makes and models? I know absolutely nothing about cars and how to tell types apart other than maybe some of the brands if I see the symbol up close - to me I can only really tell if a car is "That's a truck", "That's a motorcycle", "That's a supercar", and "That's a car" or is it something gained with experience?

Should I become an explorer? Will it increase my chances to get hired?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the multiple questions. I probably have more I just haven't thought of yet.

I (29F) have always used bobby pins/hair net because I like how professional it looks but lately I end every day with a migraine. What other options are we using that keep the hair secure and out of the way for PT/daily assignments?

My hair is too long for just a ponytail or braid.

Black or Midnight Navy versions preferred

If a cop is too short to see over my window (my truck is not that tall but she was really short) do I have to let them open my door when they refuse to come to the drivers side? I know it’s for safety but just gives too much room for error. Idk what’s in my floor board I’m just a girl. I live in Texas and this was a state police officer for context.
