You do not get hired directly into a law enforcement agency for the position of Homicide Detective. You get hired as rookie Police Officer and work your way up through the job. If you are perceived by the department higher-ups to have some special skills that might qualify you for the position you may be tapped for the job. Bottom line: Any studying you do in college will stand you in good stead but it will not guarantee you a certain specific job in a law enforcement agency.

Is there an age limit to become a homicide detective?

The process to become a homicide investigator varies with every law enforcement agency. Politics have as much to do with one's success as does competence and experience. In a small agency, there may be only one or a few general-assignment detectives, or none at all (80% of the 18,000+ law enforcement agencies in the United States have fewer than 20 sworn officers), so anyone can be a "homicide detective," if a homicide takes place. In larger agencies, where there are career homicide detectives, there is seldom any requirement of service time to become a detective. However, homicide is usually regarded as the most prestigious investigative assignment, and the investigators in that assignment will generally be fairly senior, with ten years or more of service as police officers.
