While I'm sure police training has changed significantly since I was in the police academy, the basics should be the criminal & traffic codes, laws of evidence, laws of arrest & detention, traffic control, first aid including CPR, unarmed defense, use of weapons and equipment (pistol, shotgun, nightstick, PR24, handcuffs, etc.), community relations, cultural sensitivity, simple commands in bilingual communities, traffic safety, pursuit driving, radio procedures, departmental rules & regulations, knowledge of the geography of the juisdiction. Today, computers are p[revalent in police work so I'm sure there is training on IT, too.

That is a cop. If you want to be a cop, you're going to have to go to the Police Academy. Go talk to the Austin Police Dept.

I like the last answer (above mine), and have some additional stuff to add.\n\nFirst: as a local cop, I have NEVER received training in what constitutes an illegal alien.  I have no idea what's allowed and what's not...work visas, travel visas, passports, green cards.  I don't even know where I'd find the laws on the subject, to try and educate myself.  I've never even seen any training that's available on this subject, and I'm the guy responsible for training at my department.\n\nSecond, I do have an awful lot of other things to worry about besides trying to deal with someone whose only offense is that he's here illegally.  Many of them work and support their families, and that's a hell of a lot more than most of the crackheads I deal with will ever do.  Sort of a matter of priorities.\n\nHaving said that, I would not hesitate to arrest an illegal alien if I knew how to work the case.  I arrest DUI's, dope dealers, and wife beaters all the time, because I know how to work those cases.  I don't know the first thing about working an illegal alien case.  \n\nAlso, our local jail is currently extremely overcrowded and I don't know that they would even accept someone for an immigration offense.  \n\nI would be very interested in knowing more about the entire situation, and how it would work in my jurisdicition.  However, the Feds aren't forthcoming with any training to educate me on the issue, so I suspect they're not especially interested in dealing with it, either.  \n\nBelieve me, I share your frustration.  I just don't know what to do about it.

it is not a short path, but this is how I did it. Get on to a local law enforcement dept, then once you are on and certified, push to become a firearms instructer for the dept, and start applying to the FBI or CIA right away. No matter what federal agency you are applying for, they will want at least a bachelors deg. and usually 5"ish" yrs of law enforcement OR military experience. Don't get dissapointed you will get turned down probably the first 2 times you apply, but that is pretty much how they do it, myself, my buddies in other agencies all went through the same. good luck

Sure its possible...dwi's arent felonies...well in the state I live in anyways...Tell him to go to the sheriff's office in the town he lives in and apply...They will check to see if hes eligible to have a gun permit at all...If he is he will have to pay around $90 for a consealed weapons permit and possibly take a class. Hope this helps!?

Umm..  I am a police officer and I full understand behavioral sciences.  Might I mention that I was never in the armed services; however I do have a college degree, which included taking psychology, sociology and human behavior courses.  It also included spelling courses.

He's got one of those jobs that you can't leave unless releaved by someone, just part of being a officer, but he could have at least called or something.  Think I would wait and see what the reason was before I jumped the gun too much.  If you tell her what you want her to do, and he's got a really good reason, you will be the bad girl.  Wait and see, don't do anything while you all are under so much stress.  It's not like family, she's a gf, so he's at the mercy of his boss.

Lol. well congrats on getting it. m fiance is in response and he loves it, well all except the paperwork.\nErm I'm split on the whole gun thing. I don't like the thought on the police relying on guns but then arguably they are more likely to be put in dangerous situations then the average Joe. And at the day they have other methods at their disposal such as CS gas, handcuffs and an asp (that name always makes me laugh).\nIt's just a case of not putting yourself in unessesary danger. Good luck.

There is a national Law Enforcement site that will list all the information for you. It is:\n\nhttp://www.usacops.com/\n\nHope this helps!

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

Try the state police in your state at your local detachment.  Sometimes the state police or other police agencies teach self defense courses for free.

MMMMMMM lets see.  As another said, I've not had that problem because I don't have any illegal substances in my home.  If a Police Officer were to come to my home I would certainly invite him in.  If a SWAT team came in I would certainly do everything I was ordered to do as again, I have nothing to hide.  If Anthony didn't hear them he must have certainly seen all of the white lettering on their tactical vests that said either SWAT or POLICE which would lead a REASONABLE man to believe the police were there on official business and not just stopping by to say hello.  I have been with several tactical teams as they make entry and have yet to see them treat anybody in an unreasonable manner not to mention they always yell 'POLICE POLICE POLICE' (about the only thing on TV that's realistic)  Maybe Anthony would be in better shape today if he wasn't committing crimes and followed the order to get down.  Get his family to get the same clown attorney that is suing police departments in Florida for wrongful deaths after their beloved killed officers and/or citizens, tried again and didn't succeed.

sorry no idea, hope someone does so that they help you.  By the way, why not contact the police itself on phone, that will be even a quick search for the information you need right.

If I were you, I would go ask someone from your local PD.  They could let you know what the requirements are for your department.
