How long do you got to go to school to become a police officer?
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.
How many police are in the us?
It's difficult to get a precise number of law enforcement officers in the United States, because the definition of "police officer" varies from one jurisdiction to another, and there are numerous other job titles for people with police powers, such as deputy sheriffs, constables, state troopers, special agents and so on. The federal sector is especially difficult to track, as the federal government doesn't list federal-level police agencies with fewer than 100 officers. Virtually every federal agency or operation has some form of police assigned to it, and many of them are dedicated to that organization. For instance, the National Security Agency, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Pentagon all have police forces of their own. There is even an FBI Police Department that patrols FBI facilities and mans checkpoints at each entrance. That said, here is a list of types and numbers for law enforcement officers in the United States. The figure in parentheses is the year that data was gathered Local police (2000): 440,920 Sheriffs and deputies (2000): 164,711 State police (2000): 56,348 Special Jurisdictions (college, hospital, transit, etc.) (2000): 43,413 Texas constables (2000): 2,630 Tribal police (2000): 1,10 Federal law enforcement officers (2004): 104,884 Total: 814,007 This number does not include correctional (jail and prison) officers, who may have law enforcement authority, depending on their jurisdiction. The emergeny number for police in the US is 911. Or call 411 for ur local state police
