How do I get a job as a psychologist in law enforcement?

Ever since I saw Dr. Sweets in Bones and the show Lie to Me I thought it would be a really cool job to be able to get to help out with criminal profiling and interrogations. Do I just need to get a psychology degree to get the job or do I need to double major in something else as well? #psychology #administration-of-justice #law-enforcement

Enna’s Answer

Learn philosophy and psychology, learn about people by being around them, the more you understand human behaviors the better you'll be at predicting them. get your BS in psychology, a minor in criminology helps. volunteer or work as a police officer. Schools are competitive so you’ll have to get Mostly A’s and B’s. Apply to universities that have police psychologists as professors and a program you like. In grad school, get involved through research or networking. Read in advance, go to conferences and think about what you want to write your dissertation on-tailor all of your assignments on that subject so it will be easier later: Apply to an internship that offers the specialties you like. Graduate, postdoc, study for the EPPP and get licensed.
