most dept's will hire some 20 yr olds if they turn 21 before the end of the training in order to carry a firearm. best thing to to just call there HR or talk to an officer.

The minimum age is 17 with parents written consent and the max age is 28 for enlisted and 35 for officers. The ages are the same for men and women. As long as you are signed up before those birthdays you are fine.

If you want to be some kind of technician or police officer, two year is fine. If you want to learn a lot and have a more interesting job with more money, you have to go to a 4-year college. Get as much education as you can.

My son is becoming a policeman.  While college is not required (you can just go to the police academy), he has decided to do the college route.  He is taking the 2 year Criminal Justice program (graduates May 2007) and will then enter the police academy with an associate's degree.  He plans to return to college part time to continue on for his bachelor's degree once he is working.\n\nHe considered the service but has a pin in his foot so is not eligible to enlist.

There are different def. of age in different laws.  For example, in Texas, anyone 17 years old is an adult for normal crimes.  However, the Family code defines a juv is anyone under 18.  So does the education and government code.  The Health and  Safety code defines a minor as anyone under 21 (that's the one that deals with alcohol.) \nLike it was said before, each state and federal law is different.

I'm pretty sure that it's a federal thing, not state law.  You need to be 18.  21 if you want a handgun.  Background checks apply.  Be safe with it.

pretty much all states require it, unless you are hunting on your own land/family land.  are under the age of 16 (or 15 or 14 it depends) and under the immediate supervision of someone licensed and with a hunters ed card.  immediate supervision basically means within an arms length of them.

Usually a 2 or 4 year criminal justice degree and then a successful completion of a police academy!

The officers will not need his consent.  If they believe there is a reason, they will search the vehicle to make sure there is nothing in it that imposes the danger to the minor. (In the US, the "minor" is anyone who is under the age of 18).

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.

you can actualy start training to be a cop befor your 18 but you can't become a cop until your 21. the law says you can't have a gun until your 21.

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!

Right north of Portland?! Well I don't think it matters wre you are all, but all you need is to be at least 20 1/2 or 21 I don't know and have gone through police academy. They prefer people with a bit more life experience, military, or with college degrees. \n\nHe should get involved with Cadets, thats what I did. \n\nOther than that he is pretty much good to go!!!\nbut before he turns 21, he should DEFINITELY go to the police academy cause that takes about a year, oh and he should be a reserve officer. As long as he gets any job in the Police dept. he should be a shoe in

I am a TN resident and the majority of judges in West TN allow most 12 year olds to make that decision if the parent they choose is responsible enough to have a kid
