Different states or even counties, have different qualifications.
Most police academies are from 1 to 3 years. Some will require college level courses prior to entry, others will include them in the training (thus take longer)
On average you will need the equivalent of an associates degree in criminology plus the physical, driving and shooting taught by the police academy.
To advance beyond patrol levels will typically have additional requirements, but it is not unusual for a police officer to start their career with only the minimal requirements and than continue part time schooling to advance into higher level positions.
Some police officers never stop going to school and there have been notable officers who began on patrol with only 1 to 2 years of training, continued their education to become detectives and by the time they were ready to retire from active duty had completed their courses to become attorneys.

How long does it take to become chief of police?
About 22 years. Becoming a police chief takes many years and numerous promotions after the initial position as patrol officer. Because each department only has one chief and that person might stay in the position for many years, a police officer might need to move to a different department to become chief. There is the possibility of jumping/skipping through the ranks which could make the journey to chief a little faster but on average, an officer might spend five years on patrol, 10 years as sergeant, five years as lieutenant, two years as assistant chief and finally a promotion to police chief.
