Don't listen to the 3 that have thumbs down. Some departments require that you have 2-4 years College, or Military experience. I know were I live Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA the Police have dropped the 2 years College as they found out it is harder to find people who have taken 2 years or more. Instead you need a High School Diploma and or 2 years Military and be at least 18 years old. Best to go to the department that you are thinking of trying ot work for and ask what is required. Most departments are dropping the College to get recruits in. If you do join and make it past the academy be courteous and friendly to the public and they will most likely return the favor al bet for the criminal element were you need to be a hard *** and have no mercy.

You need a big appetite for donuts and too lazy to work.

Each agency is different. Some require a degree, some don't. A google search of agencies in your area will outline the basic requirements. In my state:

You have to be in to control big time
You have to like carrying a gun ( I do )
You have to enjoy divorce
You must be into booze to an unhealthy degree
You have to be very clever about any tendencies towards self enrichment.
You have to be willing to tolerate flat feet and hemorrhoids.
