How does one become a Police Officer?

<p>In our state, you have to be hired by a law enforcement agency…police dept., sheriff’s dept. etc. Then you are sent to the state’s police academy or to a community college where you take BLET…basic law enforcement technology which is a one semester class. </p>

<p>S2 is a criminal justice major (BS). He completed all of his coursework this semester and will do an internship this summer with a local sheriff’s dept.</p>
