Eyesight for police force

Hi. I'm wanting to apply for the police force and you need;

Unaided vision (without spectacles or lenses) - 6/36 or better in either eye is required. Binocular vision (vision with both eyes) worse than 6/6 requires correction.
Aided vision (wearing lenses or spectacles) - 6/12 or better in either eye and 6/6 or better using both eyes (binocular vision) is required.
Near vision - N6 at 40 cm with both eyes together (aided).

I feel like my eyesight is pretty bad but I don't know if I am able to apply. My contact lenses read.

Left eye: -5.25
               CT 0.085
               8.6
               DIA 13.8

Right eye: -4.50
                 CT 0.100
                 8.6
                 DIA 13.8

That's all the information from the side of the box.

Thank you for your help

You should call the police department about how strict their criteria truly are but with that prescription I would assume you don't qualify for the uncorrected part.  You may consider laser vision correction.
