You haven't mentioned your age. I suggest you join your school's ROTC then they will tell you.
Please ignore ROSIE, she acts like she's a police officer and she is more like a hater.
Follow your passion and be a good cop!

I am not sure what never joining the army has to do with anything but I'll see it I can help. You say you are in the process of becoming a police officer. I am guessing you have not started the academy yet. Make sure you understand the U.S. Constitution and your state laws. Practice shooting as much as you can. Since writing is one of the main parts of your job make sure you can spell and write coherently. A sloppy written report will come back to bite you. It will be read in court and you will look incompetent. A well written report can save you from having to go to court if every thing is in that report. Always be certain you have covered everything about an arrest in your report. You need to have an even temper because people will try you. You can't let your emotions get in the way. Be polite even when you don't want to. Pay attention to what you are taught by the academy and your supervising officer. Good luck.

Get as much education as you can. Don't do anything illegal. Become as physically fit as possible. Improve your communication skills as much as possible. Practice and improve your observation and memory skills. Always look and act professional. Maintain your honesty and integrity. Best of luck!

Brown nose.
Source(s): I am a retired police officer. I retired as a sergeant, after 29 years, from a very large department, about 12,000 officers. I was a patrol officer for 4 years in a very diverse area. I was a tactical officer in the high rise project areas of my city. We called it vertical patrol in that we walked the the stairways of the high rises most of the time. I did that for 5 years and was promoted by test to detective. I worked violent crime (homicide, sex, officer involved shootings, robbery, kidnapping, serious non property incidents) for 11 years until I was promoted to sergeant. I worked as a street supervisor, a bicycle patrol supervisor and a desk sergeant/watch commander. During my time as a tactical officer and a detective I was a unit representative for the police union. I have a B.A in English and an M.S. in Law Enforcement Administration* - Anonymous1 decade ago
