Using the Calgary Police Force standards as typical, and realizing that other jurisdictions will have specific qualifications around items such as citizenship and age, the applicant must:
Character
Other Requirements
Preferred Attributes
It depends on where you are. For instance, the qualifications in the city where I live used to be 2 years of college, no criminal record, and a clean driving record. If you meet those qualifications, they send you to the academy and train you for all the other stuff they want you to learn.
Getting a job as a police officer can be difficult because of the many tests an applicant goes through. A high school education or GED is generally required. College courses completed in criminal justice and military experience is a plus. A thorough background check is performed and applicants with multiple traffic violations, drug offenses and other criminal offenses will often be rejected. Most police officers take a series of tests before being accepted into the police academy.
These tests can include:
Civil Service testing.
Physical exams.
Lie detector tests.
Drug tests.
Personality tests.
Psychological tests.
The average age for applicants falls between the ages of 20 and 35. A series of physical tests are administered during the hiring process. This is to evaluate an applicant's strength, endurance and dexterity. Examples of the tests includes timed push ups, sit ups, a 1.5-mile run, arm and leg endurance tests, a 75-yard 'pursuit run,' and a side-step test.
There is no particular qualifications which you need, but having a GCSE in maths, English and science C or above can make you stand out from the other applicants. Also if i was recruiting i would look for examples of youth work, training and stuff
This is a difficult question to answer because people are all different and bring different skills to the police job. Ideally, an officer would be aggressive and a self-starter, able to work well alone and without direction, have good people skills, an excellent writer, able to speak well under pressure, bring a positive attitude to work every day, have good stress-relieving skills, be strong and fast, quick-witted, have lots of common sense, etc. Most of all, an officer would have to be able to remain professional at all times, no matter how abusive people get. Quick reactions are better than quick tempers. Officers have to be able to assess changing conditions rapidly and accurately, while maintaining good officer safety tactics. By no means does this cover all the characteristics needed to be a good police offcier.
A police recruit is someone who is seeking employment with a police agency or who has been hired by an agency. Officers who are in the police academy or out on their first months of work are called recruits. Once they have completed all their training and qualifications, they are called police officers.
