What is it like applying for a job in law enforcement?

I want to get a job in law enforcement. Right now I'm a freshman in college but I want an idea of what it will be like to help prepare. Anything and everything will help. How long of an interview is it? How long does the process of getting a job take? How long does a background check take? Is there a polygraph test? What kind of questions will the ask? Anything is going to help me, those are some specific questions I can think of but anything else that you can add would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    It's probably a lot harder than you think.

    It's also an extremely dangerous job.
