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.

It depends on the state. Generally, yes. However, he or she would work closely with the detectives of the jurisdiction he or she wound up in.
Possibly. You likely can get this sealed, but you should contact a local attorney.
Requirements vary from state to state and department to department. Generally, you would need a GED or high school diploma, good driving record, and a clean criminal history. Most departments will also require a physical fitness test, a polygraph, drug testing, a stable employment history, excellent references, a psychological evaluation, some form of IQ or mental abilities test, and a credit check. Many departments also require an applicant to have two years of college (or more) or military service with an honorable discharge. The minimum age for employment varies, but is normally 18 or 21 years old.
No.
You might want to try public transportation or a bicycle.

There are a lot of good aspects to being a police officer. If you are interested in the job, I highly recommend doing a ride-along with a few different departments and see what the job is like.
I'd call the PD and let them know I was the homeowner and had accidentally set off the alarm. That way the officers know to expect someone when they get there. I would wait for them outside, and I would have a driver's license (or other ID with my address) to show them I was the homeowner.
