I am employed with the Polk County Sheriff's Department.  You will need to apply at the Sheriff's Dept in your county.  Here there is a thick application that have to be completed.  They will also do a background check, so be honest when answering any questions.

They do. It is 211, 911 is for emergencies only.

A lot of people who want to own their trucking business will become an owner operator. There are many places out there who will give a truck driver a chance to start being their own boss by becoming owner operators. Some websites will let you fill out an application and you can mark that you want to become an owner operator on the app and trucking companies who are giving out those opportunities will contact you with offers. http://www.bigrigjobs.com is a good one.

A clean driving/criminal record, good attitude and dressing like you want the interviewer's job is the best start. Then a GED or diploma, some other college helps too, along with your EMT and/or Medic training. Being willing to fight fire helps too. - get subscriptions to JEMS, Emergency Medical Services and firehouse and read them devoutly - LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY- DHS and FEMA have good free online courses - add to your resume. How much do you want to make? As a street medic for a private service, expect anywhere from 29-45k. FF in most areas start at 40K, supervisors make anywhere from 10-15K more. What do we do? Sit around and wait. Here's a good practice - tell your best friend to call you at home tomorrow. have them pick the time. In the meantime, do anything but have fun. Clean house, study, work out. when they do call - no matter what the time, pretend you need to answer it on the second ring or you lose a million dollars. That's how it is - we have 50 boring ho-hum calls for every adrenaline rush. We help people get up off the floor, hold their hands while they cry, hold their hair while they puke, tell them their son died, and do everything the cops are too lazy to do. Take the homeless drunk with bugs jumping off of them to the hospital. but not the hospital across the street - no, the one far across town. I've been in EMS/Fire for 15 years. It never gets old. I have fun every day, but I'm a people person, and A supervisor. What areas will you need us for? UMMM... EVERYWHERE! Urban/suburban/wilderness/factory/school, you name it there are medics and EMTs that are there. Cruise ships usually carry 1-2 medics for emergencies along with RN's and MD's.\nNot enough action for you - Go to Iraq. They are hiring, and they pay upwards of 100k. Too scary - spas and golf courses hire medics and EMT's.

first you have to start using the term 'close protection officer' cos bodyguard is outdated. Get as many certificates as you can - advanced and evasive driving courses, martial arts, first aid, anger management etc and enrol with a reputable training centre. Make friends with the police in the area you want to work in and glean as much local knowledge as you can from them. Read law and military books and non-fiction written by ex members of the various security agencies.  Scan the web for close protection agencies and send for their literature. A lot of close protection officers started in the police or military forces, or registered door attendants. If you get a few years of one or more of those under your belt it'll serve you in good stead and give you references for when applying for a job or your own licence. Finally, don't go crazy when you get your extra driving cert's because fines etc aren't going to look too good on your job application forms! Good luck

You have to be at least 18 to get your EMT certification so you could join EMS. Some EMS require you be at least 25 or 26 just depends on their insurance. Also some services require that you get your EVOC(Emergency Vehicle Operation Certification).I am an EMT-I and my service requires that you be 26 years old, but I don't have to have the EVOC. Some also require that you have your CDL-A drivers license,but that is very few services.

You might want ignore the ignorant comments about abusing power and start by looking for advertisements for job openings under law enforcement.  They often will state what the requirements are.  You could also try picking up an application.  Try scheduling a ride along with the local pd to see what it's like and if that might be the route you want to go.  It will also give you an opportunity to talk with the officer and they can provide you with a better idea of what you're getting into.  Best thing to do is talk to someone who's doing it.  Good Luck !

You just can't join any local police force and expect to be a member of a SWAT team or a SPECIAL OPS team. You'll have to start out like every other law enforcement person at the bottom of the pecking order, prove your worth on patrol then wait for an opening. When an opening comes you'll be competing with many others for the coveted slot. The same applies to police detective, etc.\n\nWith the Secret Service or the FBI you can go in heads first and be put out in the field almost right away. The trick here is that is is a hell of a lot harder to make it through their training program.\n\nI was Army CID, then a Federal Air Marshall, then a private eye so I have a fairly good idea of the process.\n\nThere are a few exceptions, of course. A degree in one of the criminal sciences will certainly open the door for you in specialized slot openings. If you don't have that degree you can forget about the FBI, the DEA or the Secret Service.

You can just go to the police station and ask. Or talk to one when they pull you over. \n My mother has been a cop for almost 23 yrs. When you reach 14 yrs of age you can become a Explore (which is like a cop in training)  I use to be one. This gives you the experience and the knowledge you need to become a cop. Just ask your local station if they have this program! (Explores program)       Most do! Good luck!
