Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
Depends on what state the crimes happened in, what the laws of the state are, the severity of the injuries, what (if any) special circumstances are in play and the defendant's criminal history.
For example, if a man slaps a woman and there are no injuries, prior convictions or other special circumstances, it would likely be a misdemeanor. It would probably be up to one year in jail.
If the woman is pregnant, elderly, or significantly injured then the charge might be elevated to an aggravated circumstance and be classified as a felony. Depending on the laws of your state, 20 years in prison is probably the top end.
Likewise, someone with one or more prior convictions for battery might also be charged as a felony.
Hitting a child might start off as physical child abuse and escalate depending on some of the prior concerns (severity, history, etc.) Most child abuse cases are felonies, so figure up to another 20 years on that one.
It really depends on the specifics of the case and the laws of your state.

Generally, you cannot/will not be prosecuted if you once possessed/used a drug. So, I personally would not worry about talking to the police about having ordered it in the past.
Is this a company that is public about their sales (i.e. they advertise in High Times, etc)? If so, I doubt you need to tell any law enforcement agency about it. I think most High Times subscriptions go to police stations and drug units.
If the company is located in another state or country where the substance is legal don't expect that law enforcement can do much about it.
If you really want to stay anonymous, call one of the "tip lines" for the DEA, FBI or local police department.
Just from my own observations, the synthetic stuff is far worse than the natural stuff. It is more akin to a crazy mix of meth and PCP than MJ.

To optimize your chances at being a police officer, there are several things you can do. These include:
1. Stay in school, learn proper english and get good grades.
2. Obtain and hold a steady job.
3. Join the military, work hard, earn commendations and be honorably discharged.
4. Complete a higher education degree.
5. Avoid doing stupid things with stupid people in stupid places. Or in other words, don't get into trouble, do drugs, drink to excess, go into debt and hang around with the wrong people.
6. Join a law enforcement reserve program. This is volunteer work that can give you valuable experience in law enforcement. Getting into a reserve program requires you to go through the same background investigation and meet the same standards as a full time officer does.

Can you rephrase the question? It sounds like you are asking me to tell you if there is anything in your background that might cause you problems in being hired. Without knowing you, that would be an impossible question for me to answer.
