Kijah,
The first step is to stay out of any trouble and to keep your body healthy. Stay in shape as if you were playing a sport.
Finish school with high grades and then attend college to get a degree. There are many different college majors that could assist you with being accepted into a police academy. A pre-law bachelors degree would be beneficial but make sure you get high grades.
Once you have finished your degree, you can apply to be accepted to police academies around the country and if you stayed in great shape with no health issues you shouldn't have an issue being accepted.
Joining the military is also a good option to prepare you for a career in law enforcement.
Good Luck! Let me know if you have any further questions.
