Hi! My father is a police officer and he has a high school diploma and he has a AA degree, if you want to have a higher position in the department then you will need a higher degree like bachelor degree, You will need to be physical, mentally, and emotionally prepared for the hardships and to maybe do some hard things in your career. Good Luck!!

Hi Grayson,
What does it take to become a police officer? Mental and physical strength and agility, patience for a lengthy application process, graduation from a police academy -- and a relatively clean police record. There are five basic steps to becoming a police officer:
Meet the minimum requirements:
- Complete an undergraduate degree (optional)
- Pass the law enforcement entrance exam
- Complete basic training
- Move up the ranks
