you know getting hired as anytype of law enforcment can take up to a year, not including the accedmy traing, its one of the hardest jobs to get, but once you get it, you can go almost anywhere

I would like to go to collage since I hear certain towns require you to have collage. But coming from my friend's dad who is a retired bomb squad caption and was also a detective and the vice president of the FOP in Newark says that he knows kids that have collage but are still not getting hired as cops. He said its best to do a trade or have any good paying job while your in the police academy. I myself still want to talk to him about it but thats all I know so far. I have another retired 27 year police caption Im gonna talk to eventually to find out more. Btw degree are you talking about? Cops in general make aswome money with/without collage, plus the pension after.

RE: CJDM98s New toy.
Pretty much, every town has a different payroll for cops. Usually, the bigger/badder the town, the more money you will make as a cop. And cjmd, your not making sense to me. You want to be a cop, but your not worried about getting hired? Um please clarify that for me. The only way to get any job is to get hired, you dont just poof into the station with a uniform on LOL. Im not trying to be an ahole or anything but you got me confused on that one.

RE: CJDM98s New toy.
He probably meant because he knows pleanty of cops and not worried about getting hired because hes a) already had his name spread around or b) knows people who will put in a good word for him.
You guys are comparing todays hiring practices with retired cops lol. You have to understand that only ago 10 years ago college as important as it is now. You need a college education for just about any job that requires thinking or skilled labor, whether it be a 2 year vocational/tech school A.S. or a 4 year college B.S., minimum.
These cops have been retired, meaning when they were hired the requirements werent as stringent as they are now.
The 2 most important things in getting a job are education and networking, hands down. Its what you know and who you know that can lead you into something great.
