Education depends on the department but it is better to have some college.
Pay varies from state to state and department to department. Here is our pay scale…. http://www.lacity.org/per/psb/lapd_salar…
What it takes is to be certain that you really want to be a cop and for the right reasons and not for power, control or revenge….
All you need is to be 21 years old and pass a background investigation. You at least need a High School diploma but since you graduate HS at 18(generally) you should spend those 2 years or so getting an A.S. in Justice Administration from a nearby Community College or better yet get a Bachelors or even a graduate degree so that you can be promoted easier. The average pay throughout the USA is $47,000 but in major cities pay is around $54,000 a year. It takes a lot of patience and good judgment to be a police officer. A lot of people aren’t going to like you for the fact that you are a Law Enforcement Officer but don’t take it personally.
I have found a couple sites for you. The first link basically are steps to take to actually become a police officer. The second link has a little paragraph on what it pays. I hope I’ve helped!
I think you have to study and graduate in college, first do your high school work and complete it and then study in college.
Criminal Justice. You don’t need it usually need to take a Civil service test but it pays more to have it.
Most Police Departments in the country require at least 60 college credits (2 years). It doesn’t matter what you study.
