Find answers to your legal question.





Is it possible for a 17 year old to be an undercover cop?

I really want to be one. How would I look into it and find out about how?

No, but you can be an informant and do controlled drug and/or weapon purchases for the police.

No.

There are some states where you can get hired at 19, but it usually takes until you at 21 to actually get hired.

Even when you DO get hired, no one goes straight into UC work. Plan on spending 3-5 years on the street in patrol to learn how to be a cop in the first place before you are eligible.

I don't think departments would even use a 17 year old as an informant for liability reasons...

That would be a " NO "

Oh sweetie, good on you for having ambition.

Honestly - no. You need to have joined a police department before you can enter an undercover unit, and for that, you need to be 18. You usually have to serve between 3 and 5 years before making detective and that is when you can begin undercover investigations - but only if you are selected by you Chief of Police.

To get a good head-start, I recommend enrolling in a Criminal Justice or Law major at college. Most departments require you to have some kind of college background, and those majors will help you in the long-run - trust me.

Good luck,

Well I guess TECHNICALLY it is legal, but nobody is going to be hiring a 17 year old undercover cop.

It's just a little young
