I like the idea of having to do community service to qualify, but 8 years of pro-bono work?\n\nThey'd have to be on welfare or have very rich parents.\n\nMaybe a certain number of hours a year from age 18. Something in the neighbourhood of 300 hours a year for a minimum of 4 years, verified by a non-partisan board of some kind.\n\nI like the civics classes, etc.

It depends on the kind of loan officer.  If you're looking to become a loan officer for a bank, then you'll want to get a degree in finance or accounting.  If you're looking to become a loan officer for an independent company, then a degree is preferred, but you can also get experience purely through looking in job ads.

It depends on what area that you want to get into. If you want to be a regular peace officer you can apply to a big city PD and they will send you to their academy or you can go to one of the local colleges that have a continuing education coarse to become a peace officer. If you want to be a highway patrolman you can apply to them and get accepted then go to their school. I think the very first step that you need to do is call your local police department and ask them if they have a C.O.P. program. That stands for citizens on patrol. That way you can ride along with a peace officer for a few nights just to see how to do things and if the job is right for you. If you have already taken the state approved tests you can offer your services as a reserve officer. You won't get paid but you will get to do everything that a peace officer does and earn you a spot at the police department.

You do NOT have to have a college degree to become a cop.  A lot of agencies prefer them, but there are several cops who actually get their degree while they are cops.\n\nThe MP is a good thing, but not the only thing you can do.  I'd suggest some of the vocational schools who offer some training in criminal justice.  That can help give you a background on how to look at the law etc.\n\nFinally, go to different agencies and ask them.  Some will pay for you to attend the academy.  If you have the money, you can go to the academy on your own and then have that under your belt and hope for an agency to pick you up.\n\nBest of luck, and if you are successful - BE SAFE!.

Get hired by a Police Department, get a few years under your belt doing police work, get some recognition for doing a good job and then get yourself promoted (or transferred) into one of the detective units to learn about being an investigator.  After doing all this over a span of several years, you might be ready for a spot in the SVU.  Good luck and have patience.

The responsibility associated with a law enforcement career is significant; however, there is tremendous benefit and pride in serving and protecting others. Not only will you ensure the safety of citizens, but you will also uphold the law, and ensure that the rights of citizens are preserved. These responsibilities make this profession among the most important in maintaining the integrity of the laws created on the local, state, and federal levels.   \n  \n \n- Step One -\nYES!!  I Want to Be A Police Officer!!  \n \n\nThe first step in the testing process is to file an application and Abbreviated Background Questionnaire (ABQ) \n\nThe Abbreviated Background Questionnaire (ABQ) is a preliminary background review. This DOES NOT REPLACE the more extensive background review conducted for those applicants who receive a passing score on all four phases of the examination. However, this Questionnaire will be reviewed prior to scheduling candidates for the exam. PLEASE MAKE SURE THIS INFORMATION IS ACCURATE. This document must be completed and submitted to take the examination.\n\nThe requirements for filing an application follow:\n\nYou must be 20 years of age at the time of application and 21 years in order to be   appointed.  (No maximum age restriction applies). \n\nYou must possess a valid driver's license. \n\nYou must have a high school diploma, or GED equivalent. \nSome Require College or College credits\n\nYou must be a US Citizen. \n\nPrior police experience is not required.\n\n\n-Step Two-  \n \n\nIf your application and ABQ are approved, the Police Departent will notify you of the time and place to report for the four-phase examination. The phases of the examination follow:\n\n \nI.    Physical Capability (Pass/Fail)\nII.   Multiple Choice Examination (Pass/Fail)\nIII.  Writing Sample (Pass/Fail)\nIV. Oral Exercise \n  \nThe phases of the examination are numbered according to the order in which the exam will be graded.  The phases may not be administered in the order they are listed above.  Phases I, II, and III of the examination are administered as "hurdles".  Candidates who fail to pass a phase will not receive a score for subsequent phases.  A candidate must receive a passing score on all phases to be considered eligible.  Passing scores from Phase IV will determine the candidate's ranking on the eligible list.\n\nIn summary the standards for the Physical Capability test will measure the following:\n\nEVENTS\n STANDARD\n \n300 meter run\n 70 seconds\n \npush-ups\n 20 repetitions\n \nsit-ups\n 31 repetitions in one minute \n \n\nPhases I, II, and III are administered on a pass/fail basis only. Candidates who pass all four phases of the exam will be placed on the eligible list wholly on the basis of their Phase IV scores. Information sessions will be offered by Civil Service prior to testing, and we strongly urge you to attend one of these classes. There is no appeals process for the Civil Service test.\n \n \n- Step Three -  \n Candidates who score high enough on the Civil Service examination(s) to begin the selection process will be placed in one of three bands--90, 80, or 70--depending on their B-Pad test score.\n\nMilitary veterans who take this examination, upon presentation of appropriate documentation no later than the final day of testing, may be eligible for Veteran’s Preference credit.  \n\nAll candidates will be notified by the Police Department of their final test score(s) and successful candidates will be notified of the band to which they have been assigned.\n\n\nBeginning with the 90 band candidates, a personal history questionnaire will be provided to, and must be completed by the candidate.  The candidate will then be required to report to Police Headquarters for a pre-interview with a background investigator. Pictures, fingerprints, and waivers will be completed to assist in an extensive background investigation.  A polygraph examination and oral interview will be scheduled at this

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!
