Answer 1

You have to run several miles every day.
You have to pass classes in law, report writing, various verbal tactics, narco identification.
You will practice tactics for traffic stops, arrests, crowd control, pursuits and some officer emergencies (don't want to get into some tactics in this forum).
You have to do upper body exercises (like push-ups), climb walls, and practice hand-to-hand combat & take down maneuvers, you will learn to use your manodnoc or asp, whichever you are assigned.
You will be maced, hit with taser darts, and handcuffed, so that you know what it feels like. It keeps police brutality down when you know how those cuffs hurt when they are "slapped" on.
You will have at least 4 hours of mandatory cultural awareness.
You HAVE to pass firearms training, handgun & shotgun.
You have to endure a certain amount of verbal harassment & abuse to toughen you up, it comes from your training officers and your peers. It's nothing like what you will get on the street, but it's a start.
You will say yes sir and no ma'am to every one who addresses you. You will be watched for any type of attitude or *********, and will be weeded out if there is a "problem."
I am sure I am forgetting stuff, it's been a long time.
Just start running every day while you are trying to get into the academy. The usual motto is: We make you sweat in here, so you won't bleed out there.

Answer 2

Whether or not you get a college degree in criminal justice/ justice studies first, is a matter of choice. You would apply to the police academy (talk to your local police dept for details on where the academies are located in your area). Once you apply...you must take a physical fitness exam, go thru psychological testing, and general knowledge exam. If you pass these requirements, a medical exam and either sponsorship by a dept. or paying your training fees is next. In your actual police training...you will be receiving classroom instruction, self defense classes, weapons safety/training, defensive driving plus hazardous driving techniques, and will go thru a simulation process where you are put in a variety of situations, and must respond as a police officer. You may even do "ride alongs" with actual police officers responding to calls, and get a tour of the forensic labs where you witness an autopsy (usually on murder victims)...this is when you realize it's real life and death. I wish you the best

Answer 3

People are right on with the training requirements but to get the best answer to your question you should hit the web. Look at the places you might be interested in working at. Most police agencies have websites now and a lot of them will tell you the requirements. It varies from state to state and sometimes from agency to agency. good luck. It's a noble profession.

Answer 4

The actual training and the length of the training will depend on what county you are in, and if in the US what state, and what department in that state.

But basicly you learn state laws, state traffic laws, you learn self defense, and you learn things from handling domestic disputes, to killers with hostages. ( with alot of role playing at times)

You will learn to hand cuff people use the ASP or night stick, use MACE and how to give a strong bearing.

But that is just the start, after the schooling, you go into on the job training with a training officer at your department

Answer 5

You are trained in traffic and criminal laws, report writing, defensive and offensive tactics, officer safety, code 3 scenarios etc. There is a lot of physical training involved, but the mental aspect is much harder. Be good at multitasking, taking orders, and being flexable to each individual situtation and the elements it presents.

Answer 6

The police training will vary depending on the department you hope to work for.

Answer 7

Some training you have to take a hit from a tazer gun and still be able to restrain someone.

Answer 8
