The Requirements will vary according to the Agency.\nBoth a College Education with a law enforcement major  and Military service  particularly as an  MP can help provide preliminary qualifications. Then  you must become a qualified,experienced Police officer in the Agency that has openings in the SWAT team. You should be in spectacularly good physical, emotional and mental condition, There is extensive training including weapons , hostage situations rapelling etc. mental health is also evaluated.

you could become involved in law enforcement. you could work for the city as a police officer or for the state as a DPS officer (aka highway partrol- thats what my dad is and he has worked his way up to SWAT and the EOD (bomb squad) and he absolutely loves  his job).  I dont know how the crime is there so being in law enforcement might not be that fun).

You will probably need to do the following:\n\n1. Take a written exam\n2.  Take an oral exam\n3.  Take a physical agility test\n4.  Take a polygraph\n5.  Take a psychological test\n6.  Take a medical exam\n7.  Have a background investigation conducted\n\nAssuming you pass these tests/screenings, you'll need to go to the academy (unless you've already done so).  After successfully completing a basic academy, you'll most likely enter what's known as Field Training (FTO), where you're paired up with a senior officer and respond to calls.  This FTO will evaluate you on set criteria on a daily basis.  After passing FTO, you typically become a probationary officer.  In short, yes, it is a lot of work and something you need to be sure you want to put yourself through.  Academy can be boot campish and FTO can be difficult as well.\n\nAs for college, the majority of departments do not require it, but some do.  In any case, college and/or college credits are looked upon favorably.  In many cases, your pay increases may come at a faster clip if you have a degree.

Go to usajobs.gov.  You have to take a test.  Have college/military experience, be willing to move to the border, go to the glynco (academy) for 18 weeks, become fluent in spanish (or very good at it) and pass a background check.\n\nThe duties and descriptions will be listed on the vacancy announcement.  Also, you can go do google search on the border patrol website. The website should also have the vacancy announcements...

You should be over age 21, no record of domestic violence, no felonies, clean driving record, no assault convicitons. Have good eyesight and hearing. Ability to run, climb, etc. Weight in proportion to height. No psychiatric illness. Decent credit record. You can take criminal justice courses at college. You can contact the academy in the state you want to work in and ask about putting yourself through pre-service program (pay your own way to become POST certified). Being POST certified makes you a better hiring candidate.  Starting out as a dispatcher can be good (you'll become certified for that too). Dispatching isn't easy though, so don't think of it as "the bottom:".  It's high stress and you MUST be able to multi-task to a high degree. Otherwise you need to be able to keep your cool, handle stress and confrontation, deal with mess (dead bodies, feces, vomit, all that fun stuff) and have good common sense. POST stands for Peace Officers Standards and Training. There should be a POST in your state.  If you want to work and train in another state go to their POST website and academy website.  There are also pre-service programs for dispatchers.

If it were me, I'd call a police department in a city that interests you, perhaps Los Angles, or San Francisco where they  pride themselves on having a diverse group of officers.. I'd ask them exactly what you're asking here, what their criteria for service is, if you have to be a citizen etc. The only other thing I could suggest is for you to approach one of the security services in Iraq that is in constant need of private police, and once you'd served with them for a year or so (if you survived,) you would probably have enough contacts to get seriously considered for a police force assignment in the U.S.A.

Go to their website. They have a list of things you need to do. You need to fill out an application, make a video including everyone you plan on bringing with you, send in pictures of you and your help team, write a small paragragh about why you should be on the show, etc.

Getting a police position pretty much involves a uniform process.\nFirst, find a dept and their requirements/qualifications. Most require an age, an educational background and a NO FELONY criminal background. If you meet these requirements, then go ahead and contact various departments, if they are accepting applications for open positions or ongoing recruitment, then request an application. \nYou are most likely to then take a written exam if you qualify. Then a physical/phychological screening, drug test and a final offer of employment. The whole process takes about 4-6 months so get on the horn. \nIm in the process myself for several dept's. Good luck!

I think that one of the best tips is... join a team. This way you will get all the information you need (and from pro) as well as friends to share the long training sessions that are needed.

If you're in the military you can use the military website and your own ID/Password hoo'ah. If not, you can contact the nearest recruiter in your friends branch of service and ask them to help you out. But they might want to sign you up when you go to visit hoo'ah. United States ARMY, South Korea. Bringing to fight to you!!!

clean background is a must but most know that the majority of applicants aren't perfect .  You cannot have a domestic battery charge on your record\n\nit normally takes about 2 to 5 years to become part of the gang unit depending on the agency.  They want you to know the Job first.
