Depends what country your from. If your from Britain like me they will want you to get some more life experience. You may have to apply for the specials or as a PCSO. If you say what country your from I can help you more.

Call the police station (not on 911) and ask to talk to the human resources person. Just ask what the requirements are.

Here in Minnesota you need at least two years of college.

you can, but it's a long process of 5-6 months so that you can apply, if they say you qualify then they send you to a police academy and from there you it's a 6 month process after graduating they tell you what your gonna do..and so on
