That's strictly dependent on where you live. Certain areas all you need is a HS diploma. I went to school with a guy who followed in his fathers footsteps and went directly into the police academy after high school graduation. Maybe recently the standards were upped, but it's been the equivalent of a joe schmo job and entirely too easy for random knuckleheads to get into.
Thats based off legacy. You get special perks and advancements for having a parent or next of kin involved in law enforcement. and thats according to the book.
But at least for New York, Atlanta, Miami, Baltimore, Long Island PD, and a few others, theres an education bar.
10 years ago it wasnt like that you right these are modern rules. But I dont doubt probably smaller towns/cities the bar is lower.
Id rather be a cop, yes its high stress, and you deal directly with the vermin all the time, but once you past the rookie stage youd never have a boring day. (as a rookie they throw you to all the bullshyt posts and do dumb shyt and lame calls).
the wages , can easily cross 100k in your first year working overtime
would have think long and hard about that since they pay WAYYYY more than a montreal cop)
