In California how long will it take to be a cop?What classes do you need to take?

Answer 1

It depends on where you want to be a cop. Also depends on if you want to work for a sherrif's department, police department, highway patrol, etc.

Check into police or sherrif's academies in your area. It took my dad a year or so I believe, but that was in the 1970s. Some places now require an advanced degree though.
