The first step to becoming a police officer is to complete high school or obtain an equivalent degree. You must then take and pass a written test, physical agility tests, medical exams, background investigation, psychological evaluation, and any other required tests or exams. After that, you must meet the minimum age requirement for the position, which varies by state, and complete at least one year of college or receive on-the-job training. Depending on your qualifications and experience, you may need to attend additional training courses and/or take a civil service exam. Finally, you must be accepted into the police academy and successfully complete the training program.
