Yep... you need to be 21... you have to carry a gun. To get a permit you have to be 21, so why would this be any different? As an officer you need to patrol bars and such, and those are 21 and over venues. If you start police academy now, you will be close to 21 by the time you get out. you can apply to the academy at select colleges, and take further classes to get a criminal justice degree- that will probably help with pay grades later on.

you have to be 21 years old AT THE TIME OF THE CIVIL SERVICE EXAM. so even if you are 20 right now. police academy lasts and varies from 16-30 weeks. so by the time you get in the application, complete the personal history statement, have them do the really, really extensive background check and go through the police academy, im sure you will be 21 by the end of it all.

You need to be 21 to be a police officer, except in the military. You need a degree, or the equivalent, in law, or law enforcement. Except in the military. Am I being redundant here? I'm an ex MP. Try the military. You can use Uncle Sam's money to get your education, and have more experience in police work than your peers when you go to civvy street.

I personally know of no police department, or sheriff's office which will hire you as a commissioned officer/deputy unless you are 21.If you are nearings your 21st birthday, they will accept you as a police recruit, so that you may undergo training to be come a commissioned officer.

In Canada the minimum age in 18, but they usually hire people a little older than that (twenties) because they have better education and life experience.

I dunno why, yet no remember if that's Britani Knight (who you're pertaining to right here) or iciness/Katie Lea, British lady wrestlers are in basic terms warm. the certainty that they are lady wrestlers makes them warm adequate. the certainty that they are British provides to it. i do no longer question it, nonetheless. I in basic terms take it for what that's. I in basic terms wish that Britani brings a great presence to WWE. She desrves to.
