I would say yes but there may be police departments that don't require you to have a license. I would think long and hard because there are people out there with a lot more than a drivers license. Get your drivers license, make sure you complete high school. If you live in a larger city you need a bachelors degree to get an application. Smaller departments want the high school diploma plus one or more of the following, work experience, jailer, corrections, prior military, etc.

Yes, a valid driver's license is required and it must be issued in the state where the officer will be working. There are usually reasonable allowances made for people who are taking the job from another state and will have to move.

Unless you're planning to be the policeman at the mall, yes. You will need one to drive around to get to the crimes and to patrol.

Why would you apply for a policeman with a drivers license? You can't just go purchase a cop for your own personal use.

Yes. One of the requirements of being a police officer is that you have to be able to drive a car.

Well, you need to be able to drive to be a police officer... so I'm gonna say yes. And in California you also have to be a college grauate, and graduate of the police academy.

Yes, a state ID is not good enough. You must also have a clean driving record.

Since you will have to drive a squad car, I would say YES
