Just to be hired you must possess a high school diploma, and some departments may require an Associates Degree. You must have no criminal record and possess a valid drivers license (never convicted of DUI), and then pass a mental, psychiatric, and physical examination.
After that, your agency or department will send you through training and school which will teach you everything you need to know in order to pass your state's certification test for law enforcement officers.

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.

Can an off-duty police officer give you a ticket in California?
I don't know for sure, but if they have take home cars that they are allowed to drive in their off time, I would imagine that means that they are always on duty.AnswerYes, in California it is totally legal for an off-duty officer to issue you a citation. It will usually come in the mail or they will have a marked patrol unit pull you over. If s/he elects to have you pulled over by a marked patrol unit, then after the officer contacts you, the off duty officer will issue the ticket. Also, a police officer in California has "Police Powers" anywhere in the State of California. I know this because I am a police officer in California and have written several citations while "off duty".

What is it called when a police officer askes a minor questions without a parents attendance?
I don't know what or if there is a term regarding this but I do know that the minor doesn't have to answer any of the questions the police officer asks. You have the right to remain silent even if the police officer has authority. It's not a law that you must answer all questions the police officer asks you.
