If you mean how long you have between being interested in being a cop and when you'll actually get hired - to get in shape, learn a bit, etc. - the answer is probably 4 months to a year.
Once hired and in the academy, you'll have another 4 to 6 months until you graduate at which point you'll be in a Field Training Officer program for another few months.

There is occasionally a contracted time, like when a department pays for the officer's full training and certification. In those cases, they sometimes have to work a set amount of time, like two years, to compensate for the money spent on that training.
