Looking for advice on searching for a career in law enforcement
Answers
Hello Melsew,
That should be very easy. It seems like every department is looking. The issue is that more and more State and City Police Departments have a prerequisite of education or military.
I worked as a Detective with the NYPD and spent some time in personnel, doing pre-hire investigations. We require 60 credits or 24 months active duty. That seems to be a national standard. If you need the college, there are online programs and credits available for life experience. You probably have enough already. I had to help those that needed the college credits by finding ways to get them (both as it was my job and also a good way to get qualified cops, especially the military vets.)
If you want to chat about it let me know. -Rob
