Return to article: How to Become a Police Officer
on 11/4/2008 Biggest mistake people make when wanting to be a police officer is think its all excitement. The most important part of being a cop is PAPERWORK! Most police departments are running into problems with people who can't write a decent police report that can stand up in court. Learn to write well! Remember that cases are won and lost in the CJ courts!

on 4/10/2008 My book, Past the Uniform, will help you understand the ups and downs of being in law enforcement. I was there for 34 great and exciting years. Ever wonder what it is like to be on the other side of a 9-1-1 call? Come along for the ride. View the world through the windshield of a patrol unit and behind the yellow tape of crime scenes. Past the Uniform is autobiographical, and for those wishing to enter the exciting, ever-changing and challenging world of law enforcement, it is a fabulous resource. Join a new recruit and his field training officer as they face the joys and frustrations of society as it cries out for help. See life within the hushed society of the police organization. Discover the hurdles facing someone fresh out of the academy. This is an inside look at the human side of being a police officer, past the uniform, the standoffish blue wall of fabric. Roll call is over

on 11/28/2007 If you want to be a probation office talk to the college adviser. You will need to be accredited as a social worker. I am not sure what else goes into it. You might want to talk to a probation officer usually found somewhere in the courthouse or clerks office they should be able to advise you from there. First step is motivation and talking to the right people. You might want to contact your local colleges Human Service department. It just might be the matter of taking a few classes to get a certificate. good luck, But with all the differing opinions on what it takes you might want to just go to the source. I am sure you do not need military training, a probation officer is a social worker, and this I know for sure.
