Become an ambassador-http://www.britishcouncil.org/usa-education-alumni-student-ambassador-program-become-an-ambassador.htm\nBecome diplomat:http://www.ehow.com/how_12359_become-diplomat.html\n\n \nDiplomats, also known as foreign service officers (FSOs), are part of the U.S. Foreign Service. They represent the American government around the world and fulfill a wide variety of assignments, such as issuing visas, reporting on diplomatic issues, and helping U.S. citizens overseas. Diplomats' terms abroad usually last from two to four years. \n \n   \n  Steps:  \n1.   Make sure that you fulfill the basic requirements. You must be a U.S. citizen between the ages of 20 and 59.  \n  \n2.   Avoid drug and alcohol abuse and make sure your finances are in order. A lack of responsibility in either of these areas may jeopardize your eligibility as a foreign service officer down the line.  \n  \n3.   Visit the Department of State website. You can look for it with a search engine like Yahoo! or Google.  \n  \n4.   Register for the Foreign Service Written Exam (FSWE), which is offered once a year in cities around the world.  \n  \n5.   Review and select from one of five career tracks: Management, Consular, Economic, Political and Public Diplomacy.  \n  \n6.   Take the written exam. Bring your admission ticket, a black pen, several No. 2 pencils and valid identification such as a photo ID card or a driver's license with photo.  \n  \n7.   Take the Foreign Service Oral Assessment. Your eligibility to take it depends on your performance on the written test.  \n  \n8.   Take a foreign language test, provided you are proficient in a foreign language, to enhance your eligibity.  \n  \n9.   Be prepared to undergo a background investigation as well as a comprehensive medical examination.  \n  \n10.   Be willing to serve anywhere in the world, including high-risk areas.

Has he looked into what the local municipalities or the city want in minimum qualifications to become a cop? He should really look into it now to make sure that if it involves college to place his applications in before the application deadline. Also, some of the community colleges around me offer a police academy. However, there is one thing to remember is that not every student has the inclination or desire to attend college. If he does not have the inclination or desire, it will be hard to convince him otherwise. I do wish I had better news regarding convincing him about going to college. Good luck!

If it is gang related, it will raise some concerns and you would be expected to have a good explanation. However, it will not automatically preclude you from becoming a police officer. More important for becoming a police officer is to have a clean criminal background, no financial problems, and passing the psychological evaluation.

Introduce yourself and answer their questions.  You can prepare yourself by asking one or more policemen what questions they were asked.  Also prepare a short summary of your experience, and say why you would like police work.\nGood luck.

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

As far as I know, each state, and even county/ city. Can have it's own academy.  However, in your situation, you may be able to "transfer" credits to your new state.  Call the police academy you wish to join and ask them the best way to become an officer in your new area without wasting all your old training.

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

In the City of New York anyone wanting to be a Police Officer must have at least 60 college credits in order to qualify for the job.  Each promotional level requires a written test and more college credits.  A Lt. must have a four year degree.  Any rank above Capt. i.e. Insp. Deputy Chief, etc. needs a Masters.  The education level is present in the NYPD but in order to work with Youth you must display the ability to deal with them.  The question is not one of education but rather the ability to separate the hardened criminals from those who are on the edge and can be turned around.  I have spent the last 12 years of my career with NYPD in the School Safety Division as a Commander.  There is such a thing as a "Bad Kid", and there is such a thing as a kid getting mixed up with a bad crowd.  Make no mistake.  The Bad Ones are murderers and drug dealers i.e. Bloods, Crips and the like.  Saving the ones on the edge is the real talent needed in Law Enforcement.

That can vary immensely from one police department to another.  But here is the basic 411.  Some positions require you have a 4 year degree in science while others only require a GED or High School graduation. Generally, if you want to work in a crime laboratory as a Criminalist you will need at least a 4 year degree in science (such as Biology or Chemistry). If you want to be a Crime Scene Technician you usually need less formal education. Some agencies require you be a sworn police officer before becoming a Crime Scene Investigator.\n\nIf the position you want requires formal training then check your local colleges and universities.   Many community colleges have Criminal Justice classes that include crime scene investigations. \n\n\nBelow is a book, kind of pricey but a good source.  See if you can find a used copy someplace, or maybe your local library may have it.  But it's an excellent book on crime scene evidence and investigations.
