Most police departments expect recruits to pass a test-- one test is physical and shows the recruit is healthy and capable of doing the strenuous work of a police officer; the other test involves knowing about the laws and rules of the particular city or state, since the recruit will be tasked with enforcing the law. To be chosen for a police department, in addition to passing the tests, you need a clean record and a solid reputation. Recruits are thoroughly vetted to make sure they have no past crimes or outstanding warrants, and their references are thoroughly checked.
