The response to this question was originally that "most police departments' police officers have to go to college for 2 years and get an associates degree. Some departments only require a high school diploma or GED."
The answer is presented with no statistical references or backing. The only requirement to be a police officer is to have a high school diploma or equivalent. Grade point average is not a requirement. William Terrill, an associate professor of criminal justice at Michigan State, responsible for studies on policing and education stated in 2010 in an interview with Pacific Standard Magazine, that "There are more than 18,000 police agencies in the United States, and more than half of them are in rural areas with fewer than 10 officers. Rural police agencies rarely have a college requirement, but even in mid-to-large U.S. cities, departments with college requirements "still wouldn't approach 30 or 40 percent,""
Most departments at local and county levels don't require a degree, and the ones that do will usually accept an Associate's Degree. After they are employed they may take as many college-level classes as they wish. Many officers go on to get degrees in Public Administration - Sociiology - and the Law.
First of all, people would not necessarily graduate from a college, they would go to the police academy in order to become an officer of the law. It usally takes about 2-4 years t become an officer.
Probibily five years. I am not that sure. you can change it if I am wrong.
There are 6 month courses eg. Hocking college in Ohio. After completing the course you must pass a written and physical exam.
I know this one first hand I am a police officer and I went to college for five years, any shorter studying time and most stations won't accept you.

No you dont need to be spanish to serve as a police officer in Spain as long as you know A little Spanish I think you should be ok
It is against the law to not hire someone just because they have a GED, it is the equivalent of a high school diploma, HOWEVER most jobs will create a loophole to not hire you for that reason. As long as you have good character and pass through college and such you should be able to get in.
Becoming a police officer doesn't require a criminal justice degree. That is typically for people who will have public positions or government jobs. If you want to become a law officer it typically requires classes and field training.
Usually around 3-6 months, but you should be training even before you start applying to become a police officer.
The length of the process to become a police officer can vary depending on several factors, such as the agency's recruitment timeline and the specific requirements of the department. On average, it can take anywhere from 3 to 9 months to complete the application, testing, interviews, background checks, medical evaluations, and training required to be accepted as a police officer. It is recommended to contact the specific agency you are interested in for more accurate and up-to-date information.
Two years of college, police training school for the department where you are hired, and get a job and work your way into a swat team position.
Depending on the department and the requirements of the state, it can take anywhere from a sfew eeks to 67 mnonths or more.
There's no such thing as 'high functioning autism' - a person is Autistic and how they are affected varies, functioning labels are not only meaningless but also highly offensive. An Autistic person can become a police officer as long as they can function well day-to-day and their disability isn't a barrier.

It depends on what you are referring to, however, in general, a non-police officer can work for or represent a polie agency, as long as that particular agency allows it.
