Answer 1

you need to finish school and talk to your counsel about how you can apply in your state some police depts have academy's or you can go to a college that have the classes that you need. Good luck future officer and becarful out there

Answer 2

do well at school & get some good A levels, however you can actually get into the police without any qualifications at all, but you get a better job within the police if you have better qualifications. but i heard you now can't enter the poilice forse until your 25! i'm unsure if this is true but i just thought i'd tell you. hope this helped (: x

Answer 3

Stay out of trouble.

Stick with school it will help in the long run with anything you choose.

Call your local force for info advice.

Keep fit as you will have a fitness test to go through.

Community/charity work call your council or a job that you interact with the public.

Best of luck.

Answer 4

I'm pretty sure that most of the time there are training sessions you need to complete before you can actually become an officer, but other than that I'm pretty sure anyone can qualify. Just keep your record clean. Good Luck!

Answer 5

Assuming you're in the UK, the following unless it's changed since I looked into it:

Be 18. You can't join until then. You can work in admin jobs for them, but not as police.

At least finish your GCSEs, I think you can join with fairly low ones but it looks better with higher ones and you can be promoted faster if you finish University first apparently.

Have a decent level of fitness and pass fitness tests.

Pass a medical exam.

Quite obviously if you've a record of violence and have a hobby of eating small children or something you'll likely be rejected. Being fourteen unless you wait to join you shouldn't have to worry about the financial checks to see if you've been bankrupt, etc.

No noticeable tattoos or tattoos which would cause offense.

Pass an eyesight test.

Answer 6

Stay out of trouble.

Answer 7

Finish high school and apply

Answer 8

depends where you live but you can join the police cadets from as early as 14 and that will prepare you for going into the police.

this is the website for the london police cadets

Answer 9

none just good gcses and a clean criminal record will help and good fitness levels there is no formal qualifications that is set for entry into the police force nor is there specific exms you can take to ensure a job it varies the requirements from police force to police force contact your local police and ask them what there entry requirments they should be able to help you or even visit your local connections i think at the minute being so young your better off waiting as things may change and you may change your mind by the time you hit the minimum age to join good luck for the future anyways.

Answer 10

Stay away from trouble and do your best at school. I think you can apply when your 18. Good luck mate.
