You usually just need somewhere around 40 and 60 college credits, but they prefer you have a degree. The degree doesn't really matter, but they do like criminal justice, business, and public admin. degress.
21 years of age (altho a FEW agencies will hire younger) - high school graduate or GED equivelant (SOME agencies will require college) - ability to pass a physical agility test - ability to pass a medical screening - ability to pass a psychological screening test - ability to pass a criminal history and DMV background check - (SOME agencies) the ability to pass a polygraph/lie detector test - you must successfully complete either agency required or state-mandated certification - and successful completion of a probationary period (usually one year).
Mostly its the same the world over. Powers of arrest, State laws and sometimes Federal Laws, firearms and baton and equipment training (walkie-talkie). Computer and/ or typing. Special courses may come later. In Australia for some courses you have to go to part-time university. How to do lots of paperwork... its the killer... though much easier than it was. How to keep your nose clean. Common sense in everything and of course, compassion. Not every offender needs to be cuffed and carted away.
In the U.S., you will need several years of college.
Although there are some police agencies that require a 2 year (Associates) degree and maybe one or two that prefer a 4 year degree, MOST police agencies in the US only require a high school or GED diploma (diploma IS preferred), with a good enough GPA to ensure that you are capable of absorbing your training. Other than that basic requirement, as long as you can pass a background check, are physically fit, and can pass a psychological interview and a polygraph test, you're good to go.
Formal education required before police specific training (academy) is grade 12. Training before the certification, title, badge and gun are issued covers citizen rights that must be observed, duties included in maintaining order, Martial Arts training to overcome resisters and to save ones own life. Expertise in operating and maintaining different types of firearms, handcuffs, batons. Recommended techniques for interacting with the public in every situation an officer may find himself. Interrogation and information gathering techniques, report writing and communication requirements and radio techniques. Essentially, an officer must get the job done and return home safe to his/her family.
Police officers need a GED or diploma from high school. They then need to complete the police academy to become a cop.
The educational requirements are set by local or state standards. Some states require only a high school diploma or GED.
It's different for each city, slash state. I would look up your local p.m. department for specifics.
grade 12
Hard to clarify if a "Military Police Officer" refers to an Enlisted MP or an MP, who is also an officer (as in a Lieutenant (or higher).In short, just to be an Enlisted Military Police. You need to complete Basic Training, and the MP Job Training that the military provides; however, you do NOTneed a college degree.To be an Officer (Lieutenant +) in the military, who is an MP, you would need to complete the officer's academy.
A good education helps. Good health. Some typing though you may get it on the job. A clean record is important. Just about all training is at an acadamy.
Police forces in the UK have a policy of recruiting an officer then allowing that officer to moving in to specialist field such as mounted police and dog handler etc. You will need to apply to a force and undertake the training to become an officer first then you move through training into probation period, normally a year then specialist opportunities occur
In the united states all sworn police officers are armed. If your not armed, your a security guard. Security guards have to go through 70 hours of training. Police officers have about 1000 hours in the academy, plus another 1400 of field training.
It is a great thing to want to protect and serve. In Portland Oregon you can attend the Portland Police Bureau cadet program. You can get the training you need to become a police officer and safely handle situations.
No. A military police officer goes through military basic training, then the militray equivalent of a police academy, but does not need to attend a civilian police academy.
The training is performed in the same police department where the hiring process is posted. You will need thought, some requirements as a minimum age, height and the lack of background issues in your personal profile.
Any training a law enforcement canine needs is given them when they are assigned a handler and then both go through several weeks to months of training to prepare both of them for whatever their particular assignment might be.
You need to enroll in a police training program, the cost varies on the type of program you are enrolled in to train.
State and federal agencies prefer police officers to have a four year college degree. Attending and passing the police academy is another requirement.
