Every police department is different setting up its own standards and requirements for becoming a police officer.

Most now require some college. Almost all will want to see a clean record as far as the law is concern, There are usually height and weight requirements but they vary a great deal. Usually there is some form of a written test to be placed on a list. The police department conforms to state and local civil service procedures. You probably will be sent to a police academy for training but not necessarily run by the police department in your community. There may be an investigation of your character.

You wil as a police officer be required to write reports. The sample of your writing here does not meet standards. You are provided with spell check when you ask a question. You should use it, learn to capitalize and stop trying to be cute by using abbeviation s such as wot and u.

Good luck.

for lapd you do not need college.

There is a form online for your local department, fill it out and submit it. You then schedule to take a written test, here they say most people pass, think you need a 75% (?), then you will take a physical test, involves riding a bike running and doing these side-to-side leg jumps, once you pass that they schedule you for a background check, then a lie detector test, they ask for 6 references. They at some point go to your home and can interview your family. I have seen short and tall cops, you should be in enough shape to complete the test, do not know exact weight/height numbers. Once all pre-work is done you go to the academy. I told you above is from lapd, check your local.

I’d first ask that of your local law enforcement! They are your greatest resource of information. You can contact your local colleges/schools for more info. You need good eyesight or glasses. You need committment and honor. You will have to have the basic academy classes and later, find your field of choice to study. Much luck to you!

ok i know u have to have no criminal reccords. you have to have gone to college two years i think. u can weigh as much as u are and be as tall as u are. but i would suggest this. DONT BE A COP. unless ur like some chief or leader because u dont get payed a lot of money and u have a hard job sometimes. its also life risking in some situations.

had sand kicked in your face at the beach

had your girlfriend stolen from you
