Hi,

To become a police officer you have too first graduate from Highschool with a 2.0 GPA or higher.(in most places.) It would help to go to college with a major in Criminology. You then have to go to the police academy. If you have any kind of record even miss deminor things like possesion of narcotics or Public intoxication. If your name is in the computer than you have no chance. After a Backround test then you start your training.

I am wanting to join the police force and eventually going to SWAT. I’m in peak physical condition so other than that, what all do I need to do to get into it?

I am transferring to my hometown college in the fall and getting my bachelors degree in criminal justice and hoping to become a police officer and then SWAT eventually after the three year period and seeing an opening. But, I was wondering, I only have two tickets but they equal 9 points on my license. Speeding and traffic violation. Will this keep me from being able to become a Police Officer?
