It depends on the particular department. Many now require a Bachelor's Degree. ---- Although some departments require a degree, most do not. A 4 month full time police academy will do it.
Different agencies have different requirements. In most areas, the requirement is a two year college degree, plus police academy. It is best to check with the individual agency that you are interested in joining to plan for your educational needs.
You have to apply to a Police Academy and most of the time they offered 2 years or 4 years of College in Criminal Justice(most of the time). It all depends of the requirements of your State and how you want to start. If you have 4 years of Criminal Justice in College , you can apply even to FBI and start with better opportunities as police officer and a rank. If you take the minimum ; you will find yourself with work but for further promotions , you have to keep studying at your time and take tests from the Police department and seminars to keep it up. But we need good officers (well prepared); trust me Iam a daugther of a retired agent that made Captain Rank and worked homocide and became the Director Of CI in Puerto Rico. And he did great things and has a bachelor degree in Criminal justice with a minor in Criminal Physcology. Good Luck !!!!

∙ 11y agoTwo ways to become an Officer. The first way is to put yourself through a BLET (Basic Law Enforcement Training) course that is offered by a community college. When you get halfway through the course, start applying. Going full-time takes about 4 months and part time is 6 months.
The other way is to apply with a department that has its own Academy and you get paid while going.

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.
