How Old Do You Have To Be To Become A Police Offer?

To Become A Police  is such a challenginging job that calls for different qualifications and theses differ from country to country. In the UK alone until one is at a minimum age 17.5 years you may not be offered chance, although you will not be appointed until you reach the age of 18 years.Good luck.

I hold a degree in law enforcement, so speaking from experience, I can only tell you that it depends on the country and/or state where you live.  For instance, in some states, all you need is a high school diploma, whereas in other states, you need to have a minimum of a two-year degree--which would push the "minimum age" out to about 20 years old.

The minimum age is 18, but many police departments require you to be 21. Check out www.peaceofficerjobs.com for excellent information and advice about becoming a police officer.
