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.
It would appear that your husband has a serious addiction, and is not taking responsibility for his actions. Hopefully he hasn't killed or maimed anyone yet, and will not have to opportunity to do so in the future.
Ask his attorney for legal advice, not me.

I'm not sure I understand your terminology, but if you are asking if you and your friend could be assigned as partners at the same police agency, yes. However, this would not happen until both of you had a few years of experience on the job. No sergeant in his or her right mind would assign two inexperienced officers together.

Share Answer: 
There are written and oral tests that cover everything from law to criminal procedure to firearms to first aid.
There are performance tests where the recruit has to demonstrate their ability to perform specific tasks such as firearms proficiency, physical fitness, defensive tactics, and medical techniques.
Then there are larger performance tests that measures the students' ability to handle complex scenarios such as investigating a traffic accident, processing a crime scene, investigating a domestic violence incident or responding to a spree killer.
Additionally, the entire academy is a test of the students' mental, emotional and physical ability to complete a long and demanding course of instruction. Many students quit because of the pressure.
Many states have a comprehensive written test at the end of the academy the student must pass for state certification.
