    Expect to get a job application like any other job. You'll likley be expected to complete an extensive back ground check including all of your skeletons in the closet, any drug use, personal relationships, financial stability etc. Eventually you'l attend and complete a police academy-more on that if you get the job. Be honest, don't lie or try to hide things. If you don't reveal something they ask, it's considered being untruthful and you'll be D-Qued. Good luck

    At one point I thought I wanted to be an officer. After the initial application, I believe I had to take a test and then since I passed that I had to pass certain physical tasks such as stretching, sit-ups etc. Unfortunately I didn't pass those. Do you have a college degree? If you don't, you will need to go back to school if you get the job. At least around here you are required to get your degree within a couple years after starting the job. Good luck to you.
