Best Answer

Having military experience is not a pre-requisite to being a police officer. The word veteran refers to someone who is 'seasoned' or experienced in their job. A police vet or veteran police officer is often referred to a person that has been in law enforcement a long time with advanced law enforcement training. In Texas they are called Master Peace Officers, having begun their service as a Basic Peace Officer.
