How to become a police officer?

how many years of college do you need

[AlainnNeart]

4 I think. You gotta have at least 65 ^ in English, etc. Try to get into police foundations in a college that has it.

It depends on your state I believe. Im in Oklahoma and we dont need college degrees but we can only go so high up without one. Go to your states police department website and it will tell you how. You'll have to be 21 with a good record and you will have to go through their police academy.

how many years of college do you need

here in WA, none are required, but are looked upon favorable. In King County, an AA tacks on a 2% bonus, BA/BS tacks on 4%, and a Masters adds 7% to your salary.

Then you have to apply and be accepted at an academy. Then you train, and if you succeed are hopefully hired

In Australia you only have to pass year 12

You don't need any college here. But I'm sure it will help your chances greatly if you did have a degree.

In Canada to become a RCMP officer, no post secondary is required, but recommended.

City police usually require 30 credits.

Army experience is good too, and sometimes will count as post secondary
