Answer 1

1st thing you need to do is get a frontal lobotomy

Answer 2

It helps if you are a woman, it helps if you are as butch as possible. And you have to love writing tickets. If you are a man you have to love donuts, and break all the rules you are supposed to enforce. And if you pull over a hot chick late at night, you have to be willing to let her off if she offers you some pu$$y. It's not hard being a cop, just hang with criminals and you will pick up the tricks of the trade, and VIOLA!! your a cop! Spending all day writing tickets is alot easier than solving actual crimes.

Answer 3

Well here are the rules for the State of Minnesota.

21 years of age( legal age to carry a handgun in this state)

2 years of college

6 months of Law Enforcement training called Skills.

And depending on where you go here you may need to attend that citys academy.

The 4 main ones I know of that have an Academy are the:

State Patrol

Minneapolis

St. Paul

Sherrifs

of course no criminal record other than minor traffic violations

Answer 4

you need to pass a test, then a psych test, then you have i not sure about maybe 3 or 6 months of training. jumping a brick wall and a chain one running 500 yards after you  jump it. push ups and sit ups running 1 Mile and half in a time frame. before you can do the training you have to pass the running and jumping the wall test then you get trained again for it and then of course a shooting a pistol and riffle training. sorry, i wanted to be a detective, you have to be a cop first at least 1 yr. but, i know some that didn't make it until they were cops for many years. no drugs or bad records. and need to pass a polygraph test.

Answer 5

Certain department will hire you at 19. So yes you can start the application at 18 since the process takes from 4 to 9 even 12 months. Now what you want to do is join a police explorer program in a police dept/sheriff office around you. You do need a high school diploma or GED. Now my advice to you is to: get a two year degree or 2 yrs of military experience !
